explain it to me

Could someone explain why I can't reassign a sequence like this

   rec = "123.45"

   rec = value(rec)
   rec = rec[2]            -- why can't I redefine rec this way if I don't
                                            want the 1st element (or any
others but the 2nd). It's awfully
                                            inconvinent  to have to go
through a temp var
                                            everytime.

And I would have thought that the following syntax would have also been
allowed

    rec = value(rec)[2]        -- this is valid in Theos Basic and seems
logical to me here also. It saves going through a temp var also.
