   I think that would be incredible.  Ever since I started working in REBOL, 
accessing and manipulating values within a series have always been problems 
for me.  I'm so used to the array[index] format.  Hah, course, there's 
another language, a game language, I've toyed with which allows access such 
as:
array[1..$]
array[3..$-5]

etc, where '$' represents the end of the array, and '..' is, in case you 
haven't guessed, "all values between the specified values, inclusive".  So 
[1..$] with an array that contains 10 values would be all values from 
array[1] to array[10].  This is most useful for working backwards or 
selecting portions of an array (data = source[4..$]; tag = source[$-3..$]; 
and so forth).  That spoiled me quickly.

   Anyways, that's interesting news.  And I hadn't thought of using 'min 
min'.. saves me the hassle of reduce and pick..  Like I said, I'm rusty. 
Thanks all.
