Re: put, applying get algorithm

I never saw the ; shortcut being mentioned, in most cases (for me anyway) it will suffice instead of get. By the way, is the ';' functionally identical to the 'get'? If so, I think the docs should say so clearly. If not so, what's the difference? /Jon -- UNSUBSCRIBE:

Re: put, applying get algorithm

Hi Jon, I never saw the ; shortcut being mentioned, in most cases (for me anyway) it will suffice instead of get. By the way, is the ';' functionally identical to the 'get'? Yes, except for whether (or which) arguments are evaluated. This is along the same line as 'get' - ':', 'prop' -

put, applying get algorithm

Hi, In the docs on the 'put' function I read this: That symbol is sym1 (if no other arguments are given), or a symbol found by applying the get algorithm to sym1|lst and the following arguments. Could somebody give me an example or two where this get algorithm is being applied? Maybe Alex
