In a "recent" posting (expired from my system) someone mentioned that the most (only?) significant change to ST-80 syntax since the Blue Book was the addition of block temporaries. Two Questions: (1) What is the syntax for block temporaries? I'd guess something like [:x | a b | ...] where a and b are the temps. I have to guess because I don't have access to ST-80. (2) Is there a filein that adds block temporaries to ST/V? Or any fix that a near-novice could apply? (Preferably for ST/V Mac, if it matters.) Thanks for any help, Mark -- Mark S.

Johnson mjohnson@stn9.me.calpoly.edu (129.65.19.9) Thats almost exactly the syntax, with the addition of an extra vertical bar: [:foo :bar | |temp1 temp2| thing doStuff. otherThing doOtherStuff] Sorry, don't know anything about ST/V. -- ________________________________________________________________________________ Dan Walkowski | To understand recursion, Univ. of Illinois, Dept. of Comp.
