Well, you could cobble something together using LIST→ and PICK, but it wouldn't be pretty and it would require NSTK mode. And in Plus42, you could use GETITEM, but not in Free42.

(GETITEM is an undocumented function which is used to implement matrix and list element access in code generated by PARSE, but there's nothing magical about those functions used by the code generator, you can use them in your own code as well.)
