Hi Volker
This may be a partial dupe of one I sent earlier.
Why do you insert the "item: first a", but then not use it?
Here's a console session that prints index and item:
>> a: "101"
== "101"
>> forall a [prin index? a print [" " first a]] a: head a ; This final
statement is needed only if the forall is rerun later.
1 1
2 0
3 1
== "101" ; This results from the "final statement" in the console line
above.
