It's simple, but not obvious. :) You need to prepend a colon to the
word you want REBOL to "dereference".
clients: [Joe Bob Sue Sandra]
repeat i length? clients [
print clients/:i
]
clients: [
[id #001 user Joe]
[id #002 user Sue]
]
repeat i length? clients [
print [clients/:i/id clients/:i/user]
]
This mailing list is perhaps the best resource for REBOL. Great folks
here.
Happy REBOLing!
