I'll add that a word of the form :word is a get-word! datatype. and using your (and my) example, the following form also works if you are in the global namespace (like when you're in the console) function? get 'forall get returns value of the word instead of evaluating it. -MAx

function? :forall you must supply a function VALUE for function to return true. if you don't prepend the function name by a colon, then the function is -obviously- evaluated. function? get in system/words 'forall is another way to do it... it even lets you find functions in objects. -MAx
