I've tried using the "norme" function -- the function that calculates the Euclidean norm of a vector (or matrix) -- and can't get it to work. For example, when I try:

s:mat(1,2,3,4,5,5,1)
norme(s)=

It won't calculate the Euclidean norm. Instead I get this strange message:

Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

Not a big deal, since you can define your own "norme" function, e.g.,

NormE(F):line(nn:length(F),sqrt(sum((el(F,k)^2),k,1,nn)),2,1)

but, if it's listed in the "function" collection, it'd be nice to have it working properly.

That is strange...

The norme() does not work on the laptop with Win7 "error: Atempted to read or write protected memory..." - but it does works at the desktop with WinXP.

[MATH=eng]s:mat(1,2,3,4,5,5,1)[/MATH]

[MATH=eng]norme(s)=7.4162[/MATH]

enorm() seems to work now (with 0.96.4884). The workaround from the customFunctions plugin is switched off here, as the dynamic assistant (invoked by F12) shows.
