Hi,
You generally don't want a word like datastack-to-sequence. You should
read the factor cookbook (available online at
http://docs.factorcode.org/content/article-cookbook.html or in the
listener by pressing F1). Here's a quote :

"If you find yourself wishing you could iterate over the datastack, or
capture the contents of the datastack into a sequence, or push each
element of a sequence onto the datastack, there is almost always a
better way. Use Sequence operations instead."

In the "next steps" section, you'll find links to sample programs to study.

Cheers,
Jon
