Yeah, Todd, the angle brackets operator in <the quick brown> produces a list of three words which you can access individually with an index, whereas quotes in "a b c d" creates a single string. But to come back to the start of a very long thread of discussion over the last days, if you want to access individual words of the string, you can of course do this: > say "a b c d".words[3,1]; (d b)
