Hi Gabriele,
IIRC, Carl or Holger said once that words can exist in an unbounded state so that means that there're not even bounded to the global context. Let's create an unbounded word : >> z: first to-block "unbound-word" == unbound-word >> :z == unbound-word >> get z ** Script Error: unbound-word is not defined in this context ** Near: get z This confirms that 'unbound-word is not bound to global context. >> unbound-word: 1 == 1 >> get z ** Script Error: unbound-word is not defined in this context ** Near: get z The version created with 'to-block at the global context level lives out of contexts. >> get x: to-word :z == 1 >> get z ** Script Error: unbound-word is not defined in this context ** Near: get z >> x == unbound-word >> get x == 1 >> bind :z 'system == unbound-word >> get z ** Script Error: unbound-word is not defined in this context ** Near: get z 'to-word seems a good way to create a bounded word! from the unbounded one, but i see no way to bound the former one to any context... Now about the "curious behaviour", i guess that (first system/words) is evaluated before (to-word "never-defined-this"), so you get the word list before the new word is added to global context, that's why you get 'none the first time and get the word the second time. >> z: to-word "never-defined-this9999" find first system/words z == [never-defined-this9999] Regards, -DocKimbel.
