In fact I have reported it as a bug making a mistake because I presumed that


two: 2
Probe REDUCE second [one two]

was the same of 

two: 2
probe REDUCE TWO

Instead "second [one two]" returns 'TWO rather than TWO which is a thing you
don't notice in the consolle as the ouput is TWO in both situations.

The latter is the answer I have been searching for. Thanks in advance
