Converting long string to individual words in Red/Rebol

How can a string with a sentence be converted to a series of words, e.g. convert following string to: 

str: "This is a sentence with some words"

to a series of: 

["This" "is" "a" "sentence" "with" "some" "words"]

There seems to be a split function in Rebol3 but no such function in Rebol2.

I tried following code with parse but it does not work: 

str: "This is a sentence with some words"
strlist: []
parse str [
    some got: " " (append strlist got) ]

Error is: 

** Script Error: Invalid argument: got

How can this be achieved (a method with parse will be preferable)?

In Rebol 2, this would be:

str: "This is a sentence with some words"
parse str none

resulting in:

["This" "is" "a" "sentence" "with" "some" "words"]

As mentioned in the comments on your post, the documentation. Parse has two modes, one of which is string splitting.

Rebol 3, split will work.

It will be 

split str " "

Where split is function. First argument is your string, and second — delimiter.
