A quick question on the use of vec: given the following script:

	$i = $j = $k = 0;

	vec($i, 2, 1) = 1;
	vec($j, 3, 1) = 1;
	vec($k, 4, 1) = 1;

	print "i $i j $j k $k\n";

I get the following results:

	i 4 j 8 k 0

How come k isn't 16?
Are vectors supposed to make sense when used this way?

I'm at pl41.
