[REBOL] 'alias command in REBOL
From: gmassar::dreamsoft::com at: 18-Jan-2001 8:50
As per REBOL dictionary, one states that in order to use aliases, use 'do
command. E.g.
>> alias 'print "stampa"
>> do {stampa "MONDO Rebol"}
MONDO Rebol
Why 'do { ... } command? The curly brackets are supposed to be used for
multi-lined strings.
I tried to say:
>> stampa "MONDO Rebol"
MONDO Rebol
Fine, but it does not work for file redirection.
Exactly what is the difference if I say:
>> stampa: :print
instead of using 'alias command? What is the advantage between them?
Would appreciate an educational explanation or even a hint.
TIA
