Hello, Rebols:

#1
files: READ %. gets the current directory, but how do we do it with a
set-word? Example:

   directory: %/partition/drawer/drawer
   files: READ %directory(how to deal with "."?)

doesn't work because (among a few things) it tries to read the current
directory. I don't want to use CHANGE-DIR because then REBOL persists to look
at that drawer, which is *very* annoying when trying to re-run the program.

#2
"files" (above) will, eventually, be a block of about 300 file names. I need
to know how to take five file names at a time and make a string that is:
"name+name+name+name+name", to add to a URL.

I didn't see an example of how to parse a string in this way (take five
elements at a time until the end of block), nor did I see how to efficiently
make a string using a repeated separator.

Do I need to deal with the end of the block or is it automatic?
