1. A way to do sequence slicing with variables in braces
The manual has a paragraph on sequence slicing...I've done a lot
of it in a short time: i.e sequence[1..9] etc.
Is there an acceptable format that replaces the '1' and the '9' above
with integer variables so that a loop can be formed that increments
the variable equivalents of '1' and '9' to pick up various 'slices'
of 'sequence' ???

Sure. Try this ...
integer first
integer last
sequence name
sequence fname
sequence sname
name = "Derek Parnell"
first = 1
last = 5
fname = name[first .. last]
first = 7
last = length(name)
sname = name[first .. last]
for i = 1 to length(name)-1 do
puts(1, name[i .. i+1] & '\n')
end for
