I'm not exactly sure what to call this, but in another language I sometimes
use, I can do something like this. Where, hypothetically:
data: "Charles-W-Raymond"
info: [firstname middleinit lastname]: parse data "-"
Make sense? Any ideas for me? Thanks folks!!

Is this what you're after?
>> data: "Charles-W-Raymond"
== "Charles-W-Raymond"
>> set [first-name middle-name last-name] parse data "-"
== ["Charles" "W" "Raymond"]
>> first-name
== "Charles"
>> last-name
== "Raymond"

Maybe this:
data: "Charles-W-Raymond"
set [firstname middleinit lastname] parse data "-"

firstname middleinit lastname Is '-' split data
--is a nice way using strand assignment
