Ted>> It's important to note that a series returns its current position
as a ~copy~ of the index value, but the rest of the series is returned
as a reference. This behaviour is designed so that you can easily
create two indexes into the same series.

To followup my own post, I should add that if you wanted two words to
use the same series, including the INDEX, then you could say 

>>b: "b-series"
>>alias 'a-series b

And everything you did with a-series would be available via b-series,
and vice-versa. 

By default, a series operation returns an alias to the set-of-values
but only a copy of the index.
