>From Maxim: ========= AFAIK rebol does not handle variable number of arguments, simply because it cannot know where a specific word should stop using values. rebol can only use a variable number of arguments if you use a refinement, to let it know that additional values are needed. each refinement specifiying how many additional tokens it will use up. ========================= Thanks for the information. I will try to figure how to do it the best I can with some combination of refinements and blocks I think. And then later - when time will permit - with my own dialect too, as Maxim suggested. If I am satisfied enough with the result, I'll also try to create some APL-like libray of simple Math functions to extend current REBOL calculations for use with 2 dimensional arrays "� la mani�re d'APL" but using Slim as the librarian so I can try to redefine the habitual arithmetics operators + - / * to include these extensions. I have already seen somebody here redefine the REBOL PRINT for use its own PRINT substitute with extensions instead and when leaving his own context put back the normal PRINT so everything seems normal after. Thanks again.
