I agree with this. You still wouldn't have 'move-window' and 'move-car', you have 'move' but defined twice. They are different generic words. They have different functionality. They just happen to have the same name. I do agree that USE: is verbose is you do have this situation. It would be nice to have a terser syntax. Maybe something like: U[ cars move ] to get 'move' from the cars vocab but it doesn't change the current vocab search path? I'm Thinking of something like common lisp's way of getting things from a package that isn't imported: cars:move Chris. -- http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
