The easy way is to take max(LHIGH).  This only works if LHIGH is exactly
four elements long, of course.  If you care only about size, not speed,
you could do max(seq(LHIGH(I),I,1,4)) (or whatever your indices are).
I'm assuming you're using an 83/+, of course.

In general, folks, when you post, tell us what calculator you're using!
It will weed out the useless answers (such as, maybe, this one).
