You could list all the action types with: ? action! then go through each one, getting the ... ... it's faster in rebol: ; save output of help echo %actions help action! echo none ; go through each line of the above created file foreach line next read/lines %actions [ act: to-word first parse line "" ; get the word print [second get act tab act] ; print word and number ] ; now see if there are any collisions - are all action numbers unique, can be evidence to suggest that it's an index. :) Anton.
