Actually, I really do need rownames to label the coefficients from the variables in the list, but my problem is rather that the bundle doesn't play well with lists so to make tables for my Stein-rules based on the variable names automatic (using the  bundle) required some trickery.  I'll visit the strsub(), which seems like a better solution than my clunker program.  

Thanks Allin...

I presume you mean colnames() in this context. As per the help
for colnames, you can just give the name of the list:

<hansl>

open broiler
list xlist = const 2 3 4 5
matrix X = { xlist }

colnames(X, xlist)
</hansl>

However, if you need to swap out commas for spaces, you can
use strsub(). Go to /Help/Function reference and look under
"Strings" for related functions.
