Derek, doesn't the following do what you want?

     s = "a,i,ab,am,an,as,at,abe,..."
     t = ','
     x = find(t, s)
     lastx = x
     while x != 0 do
-- 	...
       x = find(t, s[lastx..length(s)])
       lastx += x
     end while

Something like that...

I actually tried this... finding on a slice of the sequence... but it 
didn't seem to work any faster. :(
