I believe the arguments of a function are local to the function. When you
use the function, other words may be used as arguments, possibly different
each time the function is called. Or you *can* use the same words, but I
feel that may not be good "style".
Non-argument words used in a function can be declared local by using the
format:
fname: func [arg 1 arg2 arg3 /local arg4 arg5 arg6][body of function using
args 1..6]
The preceding omits several additional features of the arg block (spec). See

You should read the User's Guide and its Addendum. You'll find them at
www.rebol.com under language guides. The "Style" section of the addendum
discusses function styles.

Subject: [REBOL] func question
