-> Anyway, here's a piece of sample code demonstrating what I would like
-> to do, Euphoria's responce, and an explanation of the result I think
-> I should get.

-> -- Program Test.ex --

-> sequence a, b

-> a = {{1, 2, 3},
->         {4, 5, 6},
->         {7, 8, 9}}
-> b = a[1..3][3]

-> -- End Test.ex --

well heres the fix :)

-- Start Test.ex --

sequence a, b
b = {}                          -- added
a = {{1, 2, 3},
 {4, 5, 6},
 {7, 8, 9}}
--b = a[1..3][3]                -- removed
for c = 1 to length(a) do       -- added
    b = append(b, (a[c][3]))    -- added
end for                         -- added
print(1, b)                     -- added

-- End Test.ex --

-> When run, Euphoria responds with:

-> b = a[1..3][3]
->            ^Unknown Command

i dont know why that is, but someone else will :)

Hope thats a help
