Hi Giuseppe,
SECOND returns a word, and REDUCE does not
reduce a word to its associated value.
(REDUCE does reduce words inside a block
that it is passed, so this might seem
strange.)
To reduce a word to its value, use GET.
probe get 'two
or
probe get second [one two]
but of course you need to know in advance
that the item in the block is a word.
If not, then you must do some tests on the
item to see what type it is before
evaluating/reducing/getting it.
Anton.
