§ 4.99  - [slice] Built-InMnemonic aid: lslice SLICE content
This built-in returns a portion of the content.
sliceSpec can be any of the following, where a, b and c are integers:

 a ------pulls that character out of the string
 a:b ----pulls from a to b-1
 a:b:c --pulls from a to b-1, stepping by c
 :b -----pulls from beginning to b-1
 a: -----pulls from a to end
 ::c ----pulls from beginning to end, stepping by c
 :b:c ---pulls from beginning to b-1, stepping by c
 a::c ---pulls from a to end, stepping by c
Tip: When a slice component a or b is negative, then it refers to a character position relative to the end of the list. When c is negative, the step goes from the end of the list towards the beginning of the list.
