Hi,
 
 Replace element, or insert element? Your example does an insert...
 
	I would like to write a function that replaces the Nth element of a
tuple.
	exemple:
	 
	replace(3,{a,b,c,d},a)   returns {a,b,a,c,d}
	 
	how can I do that?  

Replacing is done easily with erlang:setelement(3,{a,b,c,d},a).

Inserting is not so easy, one would be to convert to a list, insert in it
and convert back to a tuple.

Regards,
Vlad
