Please refrain from ad hominem attacks. You stated: "Ordinary blocks only allow for IMPLICIT naming of elements contained therein, which requires one to 1) remember their sequence 2) use any of these for retrieval: [...] path phrases ([ ] /n) * [...] * where n = any integer; m = any integer" This claim can be invalidated easily as the following REBOL transcript shows: >> x: [a 1 b 2 c 3] == [a 1 b 2 c 3] >> x/b == 2 Obviously the 'b in x/b is no integer. QED I hope you are aware that faulty claims such as the one above may be highly confusing to newcomers to the REBOL language. -- Best regards, Andreas -- To unsubscribe from the list, just send an email to lists at rebol.com with unsubscribe as the subject.
