Thanks a lot. At least I won't be killing myself trying to figure out
what I missed. FYI, I tested on version 1.1 and 1.1.3 and they seem to
have the same issue.
Since we are on the subject, I wonder if you can spare some of your time
help me understand this:
As far as I understand, the global environment is actually a singleton
'main' Object. The function defined in the global scope should be
translated to private method of Object class which is what it shows in
iirb.bat. Not sure why ir.exe as well as the code in the ScriptEngine
does not behave that way.
