Nicholas,

Thx - I realize I asked the question wrong.  The list comprehension

 [{td, [], massage(W,Ls)} || W <- vp(Vp,Row)]

will create a list in place, is there a way to create an increment
value within this structure?

I looked at a quick test with:

[{td, [],[W,X]} || W <- [1,2,3], X <- [1,2,3]]

but it creates:

[{td,[],[1,1]},
 {td,[],[1,2]},
 {td,[],[1,3]},
 {td,[],[2,1]},
 {td,[],[2,2]},
 {td,[],[2,3]},
 {td,[],[3,1]},
 {td,[],[3,2]},
 {td,[],[3,3]}]

whereas, I would like a one to one paring:

[{td,[],[1,1]},
 {td,[],[2,2]},
 {td,[],[3,3]}]
