Hi Larry,
you wrote:

the-array/:c1/:c2 works.
The reason you have to retrieve c1 and c2's values explicitly, using a
get-word! value, is that the notation
a/b/c
is a legal path notation for the array
a: [b [ c 2 ] ]
in which case it returns the value 2:
>> a: [b [ c 2 ] ]
== [b [c 2]]
>> a/b/c
== 2
REBOL has no way of telling whether you mean the path the-array/c1/c2 as in
the-array [c1 [c2 2]]
or whether c1 and c2 have to be dereferenced (oh, that ugly word again!).
In this case you have to tell REBOL explicitly what you mean.
