Actually, it is intended both to set the global search path (aka classpath, aka [declare -stdpath]), but it also allows you to query the global search path. [import] will allow querying. That's the intention at least. I haven't looked at it in a bit, so they do not fully live up to those claims yet. I think I was waiting for somethings from Miller to settle before taking it up again. About putting the [declare] object first, I haven't figured that part out yet. Plus the [declare] ordering was limited/buggy last I checked (a few months ago?) .hc > > Ciao > -- > Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org_ __goto10.org__ > > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/ > listinfo/pd-list ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality and freedom for their spirits. - Martin Luther King, Jr. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
