Print a sequence (Phix)

Hi,

This would be more suitable for a IRC chat, but I couldn't find any Euphoria channel.

At printf documentation it's said that If args is a sequence, then formats in fmt are applied to successive elements. and the definition is:
printf(integer fn, string fmt, object args={})

Please, consider this:

sequence s = {"line 1", "line 2", "line 3", "line 4"} 
printf(1, "s: %V\n", s) 
sequence buffer = {} 
for i = 1 to length(s) do 
	printf(1, "l: %s\n", s[i]) 
	buffer = append(buffer, s[i]) 
end for 
 
printf(1, "buffer1: %s\n", buffer) 
printf(1, "buffer2: %s\n\n", string(buffer)) 

The output is:

1. 1. s: "line 1"
      l: line 1
      l: line 2
      l: line 3
      l: line 4
      buffer1: line 1
      buffer2:
      
   2. #

But I was expecting that the line buffer1:... would print all the sequence s, but only prints the first element.
To print a sequence, one has to make use of a for or while loop?
Am I interpreting the above instructions in a wrong way?
