Is remove standard (I assumed it was a UCB/MSWLogo thing)

But realize this has the same problem that frank posted.
I suspect frank would of used remove if it existed in MW.

Like franks "removefrom", remove, removes the first occurance from
the left of the type pick, picked :-)

How would you write pick?

to pick :alist
op item (random count :alist) + 1 :alist
end

What you want is the index ITEM recieved not the data it pointed at.
