Hi Ted,
Have you tried using list!? They operate differently from other series.
>> a: to-list [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 ]
== make list! [1 2 3 4 5 6]
>> b: find a 4
== make list! [4 5 6]
>> insert a 100
== make list! [1 2 3 4 5 6]
>> b
== make list! [4 5 6]
>> a
== make list! [1 2 3 4 5 6]
>> head b
== make list! [100 1 2 3 4 5 6]
