Oops, sorry! The example in the reference for 'run' is wrong! It used to be correct for the pre-pil21 versions of PicoLisp, but with pil21 the semantics of 'run' has changed. The 'cnt' parameter does no longer refer to the full environment at that offset. Instead, the ref now says: If an offset cnt is given, the value of @ in the cnt'th call environment is used That means, only the value of '@' is involved. > Am I doing something incorrectly or is the behavior different > than as documented. You did it all correctly, but you indeed found an error (a remnant) in the reference. I will fix the example code. Thanks for finding this! ☺/ A!ex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
