Well spotted. Plus, given this was supposed to be an easy example for new users to figure out, isn't it reasonable to assume that the questionmark is part of REBOL's syntax and not just a character that's part of a word? Afterall, colons are added to both the beginning and ends of words in REBOL, so it stands to reason that a questionmark on the end of one suggests they can be added to all words. ie... >> name1: "John" == "John" >> name2: "Janet" == "Janet" >> John? name1 == true >> John? name2 == false >> Janet? name2 == true Makes sense to me... ;-) Yes, facetious, but a reasonable assumption for a beginner to make, unlike assuming that a questionmark is part of a word. -- Carl Read. -- To unsubscribe from the list, just send an email to lists at rebol.com with unsubscribe as the subject.
