Whoops!
I was trying to say, try this:

function join (sequence strings)
   sequence result
   result = ""
   for i=1 to length(strings)
      result = result & strings[i]
   end for
   return result
end function

I just wrote exactly that and it seems perfectly satisfactory.
So what have I missed that's so obvious to y'all out there?
