Hi Peter,

It may not be as clear as it could be from the help string, but it
makes sense:
/part -- Limits to a given length or position.
range -- (Type: number series port pair)
So, the distinction is that an integer (when you use INDEX?) specifies
a length, while giving a series (the result of FIND STR "9") specifies
a position (think of it as "up to" the position).
