Hi, Alan,

swapper: func [s [series!] i [integer!] j [integer!] /local si sj] [
si: copy/part at s i 1
sj: copy/part at s j 1
change at s i sj
change at s j si
]
which behaves as follows...
>> foo: "this is a Test"
== "this is a Test"
>> swapper foo 1 11 foo
== "This is a test"
>> foo: to-binary "this is a Test"
== #{7468697320697320612054657374}
>> swapper foo 1 11 foo
== #{5468697320697320612074657374}
>> to-string foo
== "This is a test"
Improvements, anyone?
