1. Slice ??
Rob:
Was I dreaming or is there a abreviated version of slice for removing
the last index position.
myseq = myseq[1..length(myseq)-1]
I remember reading it but I can't find it in documentation .

No. There's no abreviated versions of any type of slice.

Unfortunaltey, You were dreaming.
end was proposed to be a very help tool OR possibly negative indexes.
myseq = myseq[1..end-1] or myseq = myseq[1..-1]
I don't support the negative indexing.
It could lead to accidental faulty coding that is difficult to debug.
I do support the idea of either a keyword such as [end] or a symbol
to represent a slice ending.

Lucius:
How about this it would probably be easier for Rob to add
to the interpter.
myseq = myseq[1..]] -- chop off the end

Yes, But you can't subtract from that.
