Each answer seem to bring up new questions again ;) What exactly do you mean by "loading" words without using 'load ? Do you mean that (for example) something like "test: 5" defines a word named test of type integer? and with value the number five and that this word is not stored in the system/ words but in an internal non accessible list of words ?

I guess that by "partially" you mean "only for the context that your script(s) have knowledge of" ? Would that mean that, for example, one would have to store all code and data within a single object to make sure everything he needs is correctly restored (puting aside the need to handle circular references properly) ? ->>> Just 'loading carefully molded data containing only what's needed for a LG>> specific use.

I lack vitamins for sure ;) Regards, Laurent -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes.
