Emeka,
The use of words named like (example), with parentheses around the name is
just a practice some people follow, which I believe comes from Forth. The
idea is that the word 'example' calls '(example)' to complete the rest of
its work after it has done some initialization. They are words which are
not meant to be directly called.
In the future, please respond to the entire list.
Cheers,
- Tim
