> item 1 of field 1 by "/"
> item 1 of field 1 delimited by "/"

I wonder is really all we need is a custom function, something like this 
(but with a shorter name):

  GetUnit( <data>, <itemNumber> [,<delimiter>])

  PutUnit( <data>, <itemNumber>, <value> [,<delimiter>])

That's how I wound up kludging my way through my last project, but it 
worked well enough.  I'd prefer it in the language, but this may get us 
through the day.  Can you think of any downsides to using this approach 
which I might have missed?
