The FOREACH line creates its own context inside the loop block and LINE for FOREACH is bound to that context. If you begin using a function that holds its own LINE as well, that LINE is not bound to the same context, but is global: line: none ; global LINE print-line: does [print line] foreach line database [ ; a different LINE in its own context print-line ; will not work, just prints "none" ] Solution 1 and 2 work because you are feeding a value from the FOREACH context into the function directly, instead of using the word. Solution 3 alters the context of the function, which is probably (?) slower than 1. Solution 4 I wouldn't do. :-) -- Regards, Henrik Mikael Kristensen -- To unsubscribe from the list, just send an email to lists at rebol.com with unsubscribe as the subject.
