Hi Joh-Tob Schäg, thanks for the long, good and detailed explanation!

The system guarantees that as long as any cell is reachable from any part of the program, it will not be collected. If it is not reachble, on the other hand, there can be no bad effect if it is collected. ☺/ A!ex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
