Hi Tim, Thanks for your examples. Sorry if I was not too clear on last post - I did already check out and understand (I hope) all techniques mentioned by Greg and Brett and noted the initialisation behaviour with strings, pointers etc. IMO it would be nice if "unusual" behaviour like this were highlighted in the Rebol documentation.
