I finally got 5.6 installed and a few new goodies give me a warm holiday
feeling towards RSI's engineers which I cannot contain -- the DIMENSION
keyword to MEDIAN, and the new PRODUCT function (with its dimension
argument). The original list of dimensionally-threaded keywords in the
REDUCE DLM I wrote in response to the notable absence of these versions:

"MAX"
"MEAN"
"MEDIAN"
"MIN"
"MULTIPLY"
"TOTAL"

With 5.5 we got MIN and MAX (TOTAL and, by extension, MEAN already
existed.) Now, *all* of these are now possible!

Thanks RSI. I take it all back. Perhaps Craig and I can hold a
ceremonial cremation of CMAPPLY and REDUCE.
