This is odd...Why is "c" at position 1 and "d" at position 2?



This is only possible if the string-index does not start at 0

(as lists do start at 0, this is confusing..)



but thats not the case ->



> (setq t "")

""

> (length t)

0

> (push "a" t)

"a"

> (length t)

1

> (t 0)

"a"

It is confusing when the length to push is bigger then the string itself, then we

have to deal with an exeption.. a round-robbin counter in this case...
