Select is documented at the end of "String Functions and Operators" (as a
1-based version of slice).

There does seem to be a problem with the 2-argument version of Select, when the
second argument exceeds 999:
local s=repeat("s", 2000)
win.debug("length s", length(s))
win.debug("length(slice(s,0,999)):", length(slice(s,0,999)))
win.debug("length(select(s,1,1000)):",length(select(s,1,1000)))
win.debug("length(slice(s,1000)):", length(slice(s,1000)))
win.debug("length(select(s,1000)):", ;;+
length(select(s,1000)),"***bug***")
win.debug("length(slice(s,999)):", length(slice(s,999)))
win.debug("length(select(s,999)):", length(select(s,999)))
