Here's some interesting stuff in re your second question - not an answer,
but may give you some insight.
>> a: 16#{0123456789abcdef}
== #{0123456789ABCDEF}
>> type? a
== binary!
>> first a
== 1
>> second a
== 35
>> type? first a
== integer!
>> third a
== 69
>> ; note 35 = $23, $ meaning hexadecimal. Also 69 = $45.
Apparently pairs of char's in you definition of a were interpreted as
hexadecimal 2 digit numbers!
$ == hex is not REBOL usage.
