Hi, I need some VID guru help for the following problem/questions:

1. As I understand VID
        field-layout: [
                lab "surname" surname: fld return
                lab "lastname" lastname: fld return
                ...
        ]

Executing <layout field-layout> anywhere in my script will create two
global words 'surname and 'lastname referencing field objects. Is this
right?

2. My problem is that I dynamically create a block like field-layout in
a function and execute the layout command in this function too. I'm
using code like
        repend field-layout [to-set-path field 'fld 'return]
To get the variables into the block. I'm using to-set-path and not
to-set-word because field can be a path too.

That's the result I get:
        ** Script Error: surname has no value
        ** Where: do-facets
        ** Near:
        surname:

Hmm... Of course has 'surname no value. I expect the layout function to
assign a value to it and add it to the global context.

If I change to-set-path to-set-word everything works fine. Is there
anything I'm missing? Robert
