A block (which is a subset > series) may be a bit closer to a general 1D array. At first glance, a series as described in http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-6.html looked an awful lot like a regular array in some languages, except that the indexing in a REBOL series is not zero-based. It seems that there are _a lot_ of built-in functions to "slice-n-dice" a series - just like in Lisp, e.g. I'm just trying to categorize a REBOL series into a slot that I'm familiar with. -- Duke -- To unsubscribe from the list, just send an email to lists at rebol.com with unsubscribe as the subject.
