It's a design feature of REBOL that trips everyone up at first because it is so unlike most of the other languages we've ever used. I wrote off several hours once to debugging the same problem. Even local "variables" have this sort of "persistence" to them. Watch what these strings do: a-func: func [data /local var1 var2 var3][ var1: "" var2: "" var3: copy "" append var1 data append var2 data append var3 data print [var1 "--" var2 "--" var3] ] loop 5 [a-func random/secure "ABCDE"] One day, you'll thank Carl for this feature, Sunanda. -- To unsubscribe from this list, just send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the subject.
