I tried it ...
>> query/clear system/words
== [end! unset! error! datatype! context! native! action! routine! op! function! object!
struct! library! port! any-type! any-word!...
>> query system/words
== none
>> fx: first to-block "foo"
== foo
>> query system/words
== [fx]
>> probe system/words
== [ <... shortened a little ...>
link-init-done: unset
link-sweep-app: unset
fx: 'foo
]
>>
Seems to me, it _is_ added to system/words, though I don't understand
why it returns 'none ...
kind regards,
Ingo
