I think that if Rev were modified so that it would not accept unquoted strings to be assigned to variables we'd be in a much better place, and it wouldn't give aid to "sloppy" (IMHO) programming. So: put "apple" into theFruit put theFruit --> apple put apple into theFruit put theFruit --> (empty) So in the second instance, 'apple' is immediately looked at as a varible because it is unquoted, and since apple hasn't been used before, it is instantiated to empty and its value (empty) assigned to the variable 'theFruit'. Just my 2 cents on this thread...
