+======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>
+======History:======
+This function first appeared in "plus-2" (post-ircII, pre-EPIC)
