Naively, I'd expect the following: 5 *-* 'addstream output FOO' >>> "addstream output FOO" 7 *-* 'addpipe *.output.FOO: | stem BAR.' >>> "addpipe *.output.FOO: | stem BAR." 8 *-* 'select output FOO' >>> "select output FOO" 9 *-* 'output Wombat' >>> "output Wombat" 10 *-* 'sever output' >>> "sever output" 11 *-* say symbol( 'BAR.0' ) value( 'BAR.0' ) >>> "LIT BAR.0" LIT BAR.0
... to do the same as: 13 *-* 'callpipe literal Wombat | stem BAR.' >>> "callpipe literal Wombat | stem BAR." 14 *-* say symbol( 'BAR.0' ) value( 'BAR.0' ) >>> "VAR 1" It doesn't. What's the paradigm for adding to a stem piecemeal? Thanks, gil
