Thanks very much. Your explanation and the posts which followed were just
what I was hoping for.
So now let me ask an even more basic [FA] question:
What is happening, what is the real meaning of
someblock: []
What is going on when I call it within a function and then call the function
repeatedly [when the previous values remain].
ie: why do I _really_ need clear or copy?
Would like to see more helpful doc lookups for : and []
>> ? :
** Syntax Error: Invalid word-get -- :
** Near: (line 1) ? :
>> ? []
[] is a block
>> ? clear
USAGE:
CLEAR series
DESCRIPTION:
Removes all values from the current index to the tail. Returns at tail.
CLEAR is an action value.
ARGUMENTS:
series -- (Type: series port none)
thanks
