We prove that if X is a strongly zero-dimensional space, then for every locally compact second-countable space M, C p(X, M) is a continuous image of a closed subspace of C p(X). It follows in particular, that for strongly zero-dimensional spaces X, the Lindelöf number of C p(X)×C p(X) coincides with the Lindelöf number of C p(X). We also prove that l(C p(X n)κ) ≤ l(C p(X)κ) whenever κ is an infinite cardinal and X is a strongly zero-dimensional union of at most κcompact subspaces.
