Why the append [] part, and not just copy/part sort/reverse results 2 (just curious)? -jn- -- ; Joel Neely joeldotneelyatfedexdotcom REBOL [] do [ do func [s] [ foreach [a b] s [prin b] ] sort/skip do function [s] [t] [ t: "" foreach [a b] s [repend t [b a]] t ] { | e s m!zauafBpcvekexEohthjJakwLrngohOqrlryRnsctdtiub} 2 ]

Hi joel, You are right. My goal with append [] was to force the result to be a block. I was wrong and it is a confort to learn something from this post. I apologize to the list for being out of topic expressing my sadness about the recent development in France with two lines of rebol. Patrick
