Yes, it is exactly what i think. It is true that: http://www.rebol.com/docs/core25.html#section-11 speaks only of Third, but is also true that: pick :do 3 gives the same result of third :do. I think they forgot to implement it in Pick after implenting it in Third.

My most frequent question: "there is a reason that i don't see for this behaviour of Rebol?" 99% the answer is YES. But remains that 1%...
