Howdy.  First post in a long time; haven't been playing with REBOL much. 
However, I have a problem I wanted to handle in REBOL, and I'm kind of stuck 
at a point.
   Consider:
matrix: [[0 1 2 3 4] [1 0 0 0 0] [2 0 0 0 0]]
i: 2
j: 3
x: 5

   I want to set one value within one of the nested blocks to another value. 
However, i and j are variable, and this is looped, and I need to modify i 
and j in the process of using them.  For instance, this is what I've got 
right now, and I really don't like it:

do rejoin compose ["matrix/" (i + 1) "/" (j + 1) ": " x]

   Also, I get x by comparing a couple values within matrix.  For instance, 
in another language I work in that's C-like:

min(mtx[si][ti + 1] + 1, mtx[si + 1][ti] + 1, mtx[si][ti] + cost);

   Shy of using 'pick' a dozen times, or compose like above, anyone have
recommendations as to how best (simplest) to do that?  I know I can do

matrix/:i/:j

   But I can't do math on the variables there.  Suggestions?  Thanks.
