If an operator other than those specifically defined for lists is given a
single argument that is a list, then the result of this operation will be
a list in which that operator is applied to each element of the list.
This process can be inhibited globally by turning on the switch
<em>listargs</em>.

log {a,b,c};
LOG(A),LOG(B),LOG(C)
on listargs;
log {a,b,c};
LOG(A,B,C)
</TT></PRE><P>It is possible to inhibit such distribution for a specific operato
r by
using the declaration
<A HREF=r37_0203.html>listargp</A>. In addition, if an operator has
more than one argument, no such distribution occurs, so <em>listargs</em>
has no effect.
