?
i just want to look at my data like you, and generally i don't care too much
about which part, structure typically repeats itself
so, when i am preparing the data ready for analysis, i perform some operation
on the data and then hit "l" to check whether i am doing things right (it
happens that i am not right the first time), and this repeatedly until i
reached my goal. then i put the *correct* steps in a do-file
typing "l, clean nocompress" is not really handy when i am in this iterative
process...
so this is why i want the old list back, without sep(5). if i use list in an
ado i don't mind typing and formatting. but in interactive mode i like to
type little and get things done quickly
sorry if i bore you guys, but i find the new list defaults very annoying
at the moment i am using a wrapper "ll" but there is this thing about old
habits and dying...
