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
