I don't. So s[4..30] don't exist, they just shouldn't be printed out. Otherwise,
you haveto do:

if length(s)
  then -- so line 5 doesn't error
    if length(s) > 30 
      then puts(1,s[1..30]
(5)   else puts(1,s[1..length(s)]
    end if
  else puts(1,"")
end if

And i vote for left/right, AND head/tail. Whichever is provided, i'll likely
alias it to the word i prefer for that operation.
