[REBOL] how is 'set' working ?

From: riachtchenko::docutec::de at: 19-Dec-2000 17:55

Hi folks,
i'm just trying some code
from Ingo,
so

>> cursor2: func [
[    commands [block!]
[    /local rules string arg
[    ][
[    string: copy ""
[    rules: [
[        any [
[            set arg string! (append string arg)
[            ]
[        ]
[    parse commands rules
[    print string
[    ]
>> cursor2 ["sascha"]
sascha
>> arg: 4
== 4
>> string: "who"
== "who"
>> set arg string! (append string arg)
** Script Error: set expected word argument of type: any-word block.
** Where: set arg string! (append string arg)

1. What is the difference, as i tried to do the same on the prompt?

>> set 'arg string! (append string arg)
== "whostring"
2. ??

Thanks
Sascha.
