I know everybody is tired of talking about structures, so this is my final word
on the subject. I've just
completed a library that will allow locked sequences as per my previous post(s).
This library is available
at my web site:
It provides an engine for controlling the contents of a first-level sequence,
storing these records internally.
Also provided are routines for accessing records, searching through records, and
performing file I/O on
the internal sets of records. More information is available via the included
documentation. Also,
an example database program for managing my Audio CD collection is included
using the library. This
library also provides a layer of safety over Euphoria's standard "crash on bad
index" philosophy.
BTW: I've noticed that when I use printf(1,"%s",MySeq), where MySeq = "Hello,
Jack.", the return value is
only "H". Is this a bug, or intentional?

printf() expects a sequence of paramenters. MySeq is {72, 101, 108, 108,
...etc}, so item 72 ('H') is used to "fill" %s. You should use {MySeq}
instead to give the full string as input for the %s mask.

Library.doc:
Comments: Watch out for the following common mistake:
printf(1, "%s", name)
This will print only the first character of name, as each
element of name is taken to be a separate value to be
formatted.
You must say this instead:
printf(1, "%s", {name})
