======Synopsis:======
$__midw__(<start> <length> <word list>)

======Technical:======
   * If the <start> argument is omitted the empty string is returned.
   * If the <length> argument is omitted the empty string is returned.
   * If the <start> argument is less than 0, the empty string is returned.
   * If the <length> argument is less than 1, the empty string is returned.
   * The return value is the first <length> words of the result of removing the first <start> words from <word list>.
   * Remember that <word list> is a list of [[what is a word|words]].

======Practical:======
Useful when you want to get some words on the inside of a word list.

======Returns:======
Words <start> through <start>+<length> in <word list>, counting from zero.

======Examples:======
<file>
$midw(2 2 hello there how are you?)         returns "how are"
$midw(-1 3 hello there bob)                 returns nothing
$midw(0 7 hello there bob)                  returns "hello there bob"
</file>
