Hi,

For probably the hundredth time, I have stumbled over the problem with
function contexts, or however you would call it.

It's the usual problem:  There's an object, containing a bunch of parse
rules and a function. The parse rules make use of same words that are
local to the function. This doesn't work of course.

Solution 1 (bad):  Put all the parse rules in the function, which means
they are redefined every time the function is executed.

Solution 2 (worse):  Put all words in the object, which mean the function
can only be called once at a time, i.e. it must finish until it can be
called again, since some words can't be shared. This makes using it with
several faces at once impossible.

Solution 3 (good):  Insert you suggestion here, please. :-)


Btw, does anyone have a decent standalone presentation script? Something
using simple colored named boxes, which you can connect your own docs
presented in a similar fashion to the easy-draw doc (a full MDP-to-VID 
converter would be nicer still). I have thrown together one which almost
does what I want, except that it doesn't quite work because of the problem
above, and besides it's not general at all. A dialect for building this
kind of presentation would come useful.
