It seems to me that what the OP is *really* asking for is not a
loopless way (which recursion in AS cannot truly supply, as
sooner or later, with a long
enough list, you'll get a stack overflow because AS does not
implement tail-recursion properly) but a *general* way. This is a
topic that my book covers. Here's an example:

I apologize, but It seems that you forgot the original question:
is there any way,
without a repeat loop,
to pluck a specific item of each of the sublists?
I agree with Matt here, Mark may have thought he wanted a way to do
this without a repeat loop, but what he really needs is a repeat
loop, and also to get his mind around them as a simple, logical,
sensible, intuitive and powerful construct.
