Hello Dr. Louis,
Im still learning how to Rebol my way around, so hopefully someone can
correct me if Im wrong but,
is code & chknum looking for type? string "9898" "BOO"
or type? string and type? number "BOO" 9898
some functions will find string code the first time but afterward
you must specify them with {"BOO"} brackets in order not to
loose your #" " characters.
