Has anyone managed to create a procedure that can write an arbitrary
procedure to a file? Or even a simple (ie- without complex objects)
procedure? I can't seem to get rid of the single quotes NeWS puts
around all operators, which prevent NeWS from reading in the output
it produces. I'm sure I could convert all operators to strings and
manually chop off any quotes, but that seems like an ugly hack. Am
I missing something?
