min() function anomalies

[Jim Ault]

I use the following if the trailing delimiter is significant:

 put pItem into item (the number of items in (pVar & null)) of pVar

... of course, you could use any non-delimiter char to do this since all you
want is to make Rev think there is a char in the last "item"
