Looks like you got some help that arrived between the time I sent
my message and it arrived. Just wanted to add that some programming
language distinguishes between *destructive* and *non-destructive*
functions.
Example:
In rebol 'clear would be a *destructive* function
>> t: [1 3 4 5]
== [1 3 4 5]
>> clear t
== []
>> t
== []
whereas 'disarm is a *non-destructive* function. Thus the
necessity of the reassignment.
