List indexing problems

[TravisE]

Thanks! MAKELIST appears to work in this situation (even though the syntax isn't quite as concise, but better than having to build a list from scratch via an ugly FOR loop).

It did appear that implied multiplication was a problem. And IMO, it seems like implied multiplication on the Prime is a bit too aggressive and keeps sticking its nose in where it isn't wanted. It's really frustrating to keep unexpectedly running into what feels like arbitrary rules and restrictions in the parser and then having to waste time attempting to code around them, instead of simply being able to concentrate on the application I'm trying to write.
