I have to think about this some more.  What happens now when we 
come across a matrix or list argument in the function call GUI is 
simply this: we see if we have any already-defined matrices/lists, 
and if so we stick their names into a drop-down list.  

I realize this will not necessarily produce sane, let along 
optimal, defaults for the user.  But getting that right is 
potentially quite complicated and would have to be done on a 
per-package basis.  Nonetheless, there should be some improvements 
possible that are not too expensive.

As for the trouble Sven reported with "Save as" and "Delete" for 
matrices in the GUI session window, I think these should be fixed 
now in CVS and today's Windows snapshot.
