Thank you for explaining that to me... With that, I observe that in 
earlier versions of CSL the redefinintion of the VECTOR function so that 
the hephys autoloaded "took" and now it seems not to. I will investigate 
and 
fix!

The function VECTOR in PSL is modelled on the Common Lisp one such 
that (vector a1 a2 ... an) should give you a simple Lisp vector with n 
elements... so that is where that comes from. It is supposed to be the 
case that when Reduce overrides or replaces the definition of something 
built-in like that that the Reduce version wins.

Apologies and more news later
