Hi Tiana-- In your code below, n is a *reference* to 2, it's not actually 2. In REBOL 2.2, the quick way to get what your looking for is: blk/:n The colon (or "get" notation) ensures that the refinement "/n" deals with the value associated with n, rather than the reference. I admit it's a little confusing at first, but the different notations (put in the context of your example:) n :n 'n are actually part of the foundation for REBOL's expressive power. Once you get used to these nuances and understand why words (REBOL's term for n in your example) are references and not variables or value "containers", it'll all start to click. Check the manuals for more details on the "zen" of REBOL. Several books are planned for publication that will also help folks make the mind-shift.
