Hi once more.
But, it the following normal? Or is my mind trapped in the good ol'
days of lists?
octave:3> foo = cell(3,4); bar = foo{:,1}; typeinfo (foo)
ans = cell
octave:4> typeinfo (bar)
*** typeinfo:
- Built-in Function: typeinfo (EXPR)
Return the type of the expression EXPR, as a string. If EXPR is
omitted, return an array of strings containing all the currently
installed data types.

Cheese,
Etienne

# Yes, that worked allright, as did Etienne's suggestion. Many thanks to you
# both. It was the way a.name itself was printed that had me thinking it was
# accessed as a.(name(1)) where the outer braces denote grouping, not
# indexing. The help file seemed to confirm this, as it is designated as a
# 'structure array' which I carelessly interpreted as 'structure of array'
