I'm not sure what your trying to do but I would think:

</eucode>
{{{

--Writing: 
         seq[1][1]=atom_data
         seq[1][5]=seq_data

--Reading:

   for x=1 to 14 do
     if atom(seq[1][x]) then
        treat_as_atom()
    elsif sequence(seq[1][x]) then
        treat_as_sequence()
    end for

--or

   for x=1 to 14 do
     if length(seq[1][x])=1 then
        treat_as_atom()
    elsif length(seq[1][x])>1 then
        treat_as_sequence()
    end for

Hope this helps,
