In this paper we will discuss some very natural consequences of the existence theorem of so called hypergeometric shift operators, which is proved in [02](Theorem 3.6). These shift operators play a role, as their name indicates, in the theory of generalized hypergeometric functions of several variables associated with root systems as developed in the papers [HO],[HI,[O1] and [02]. The above mentioned existence theorem is based on the main result of Heckman's paper [H], which states that a certain second order differential operator L, associated with a root system R and a multiplicity function~ on R, has certain special eigenfunctions that are Niisson class functions with a prescribed monodromy behaviour. The underlying principle in Heckman's result is, as far as we understand at this moment, the so called Riemann-Hilbert correspondence (in the form obtained by P. Deligne [D]). In order to give the reader an idea what shift operators are we take a look at the simplest possible example, namely the case where R= BC1. The general theory boils down to the theory of the ordinary hypergeometric function d
