Hi Patrick, PPln> In a previous version of my code, I was not using the get-word PPln> ... and it was working the same (AFAICT).
PPln> So my questions are: PPln> - Do I need the get-word? PPln> - Is there a difference in the result? If your FACE values are faces (objects), you don't need to use the get-word syntax. The get-word! prevents evaluation, that's all. Mainly helpful with functions that you want to reference but not evaluate. >> o: make object! [a: 1 b: "test"] >> same? :o o == true >>> copypane1: copy [] PPln> == [] >>> copypane2: copy [] PPln> == [] PPln> ; PPln> ; what is the difference between copypane1 copypane2 PPln> ; The sameness issue is separate from the get-word issue. The difference between copypane1 and copypane2 is that they are distinct entities. If you change one, the other will not change as a result. When you change the second item in one, it looks like the other one changes as well, but it really doesn't, because the string they both refer to is not "contained" in them, only its location is (for lack of a better term). The blocks aren't the same, but what they refer to *is* the same, and they just provide a level of indirection to get at it. HTH (and is not too confusing :). -- Gregg -- To unsubscribe from this list, just send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the subject.
