Yes i agree, it is strange. It seems that the word is added to the context only after the current expression ends. The current expression can be a do block and very complex but the word appears "loaded" only at its end. The strange thing is that the word seems already binded to the global context, but first cannot visualize it. My first conclusions are: 1) first does not show all the words of the global context in every cases. 2) the object system/words is only a representation of the global context and it is updated only when the interpreter conclude an evaluation and before scanning the code block for the next instruction. How i already thought, adding new words to system/words is not a real necessity for Rebol it seems only a facility for the programmer. It seems the same in not beta release of View. --- Ciao Romano -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes.
