Wow, I've had this wrong for 3 years and it's a critical part of my kb!
Guess I was just lucky, although to now I just asserted a fact with a list
in a slot and never did anything else with it (it was a 'result' fact to be
written to a database).

Thanks for prompt response (again).

Dave

Here's the problem: blist should be a multislot, since you want it to
contain a Jess list. You can't put a ValueVector into a single slot --
the behavior is undefined (i.e., Bad Things Will Happen.) If you
change "slot" to "multislot"  above, you'll find that your program
works as you expect.
