[REBOL] Re: Selective to-(data-type) Howto?|more

Thanks Jeff:
Sorry to not explain so well...... let me try again:
1)the rebol word 'what prints a list of globally-defined functions
2)It occurs to me that if I can collect that list into a 'block,
I can parse out all of the functions beginning with {to-}.
How may I do that?
thnx
tim
