      <description>&lt;P&gt;Reason is that you are using a range variable for something its not made for.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;But you are not the first to confuse ranges with vectors - u&lt;SPAN class="HwtZe"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="jCAhz ChMk0b"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="ryNqvb"&gt;nfortunately, it is a matter that constantly causes misunderstandings and confusion.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class="HwtZe"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="jCAhz ChMk0b"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="ryNqvb"&gt;Ranges are kind of implicit loops, not a data structure which holds a couple of values (like a vector).&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class="HwtZe"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="jCAhz ChMk0b"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="ryNqvb"&gt;Ranges should only be used for&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class="HwtZe"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="jCAhz ChMk0b"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="ryNqvb"&gt;1) plots as the variable placed at the abscissa axis&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class="HwtZe"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="jCAhz ChMk0b"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="ryNqvb"&gt;2) indexing vectors and matrices&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class="HwtZe"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="jCAhz ChMk0b"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="ryNqvb"&gt;3) loops in a program&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class="HwtZe"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="jCAhz ChMk0b"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="ryNqvb"&gt;For your purpose you should define variable "k" as a vector, not a range.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class="HwtZe"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="jCAhz ChMk0b"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="ryNqvb"&gt;Simply replace the definition&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;FONT size="4"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT face="courier new,courier"&gt;k:=0,0.2..1&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;by&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;FONT face="courier new,courier" size="4"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;k:=vec(0,0.2,1)&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;and all will work as you expected.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class="HwtZe"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="jCAhz ChMk0b"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="ryNqvb"&gt;"vec" is a new function in Prime 11 and can be used to either define a vector (as just shown) or to convert a range into a vector. See the help for more information.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
