2007-12-20 Thread Ged Byrne
You have to draw the distinguish between the object o1 and the word 'o1 which is a label identifying the object. You just need to reduce the series to translate the words into the objects they reference. You can think of square brackets ([])as being rather like quotation marks (). Within

[REBOL] Removing members from a context

Hi, I'm just getting to grips with contexts and the like, and I have a quick question. Given a context, like t: context [a:1 b:2 c:3], is it possible to remove one of the members. For example removing b so that t is [a:1 c: 3]? Thanks, Ged. -- To unsubscribe from the list, just send an
