Hi, All\<o:p\>\</o:p\>

**\<o:p\> \</o:p\>**

**f: {show x+y; show z}\<o:p\>\</o:p\>**

**k:((1;2;`a);(3;4;`b);(5;6;`c))\<o:p\>\</o:p\>**

\<o:p\> \</o:p\>

I need to call the function f three times like this:\<o:p\>\</o:p\>

**\<o:p\> \</o:p\>**

**f[1;2;`a]\<o:p\>\</o:p\>**

**f[3;4;`b]\<o:p\>\</o:p\>**

**f[5;6;`c]\<o:p\>\</o:p\>**

\<o:p\> \</o:p\>

How to do this with one statement? Any ideas?\<o:p\>\</o:p\>

\<o:p\> \</o:p\>

Roy\<o:p\>\</o:p\>

use each-right to loop and .(dot) operator for function call.
