getting at it

Hello everyone I have the word 'to-display that I perform some checks on. In the example below, 'to-display, as you can see, refers to the prin function. How can I make rebol tell me what type? 'to-display's reference is?

>> type? :to-display

== path!

>> mold :to-display

== "system/words/prin"

>> type? get :to-display

** Script Error: get expected word argument of type: any-word ** Near: type? get :to-display

I get nowhere with 'get. I believe this has got to do with the function being refered to _within_ system/words, because it seems to work otherwise:

>> type? :prin

== native!

>> type? :system/words/prin

** Script Error: prin is missing its value argument ** Near: type? system/words/prin

Is there a way to 'get at system/words/prin (or other functions within paths), so that I may look at the source or lookup its type? ~H

Hi,

> Is there a way to 'get at system/words/prin (or other functions within

paths), so that I may look at the source or lookup its type? type? get-path :to-display == native! But get-path is not a system function. You can find my implementation in my reb site: http://web.tiscali.it/anarkick/getpath.r --- Ciao Romano

Hi Hallvard, <<Hallvard>> ... Is there a way to 'get at system/words/prin (or other functions within paths), so that I may look at the source or lookup its type? ~H ... <</Hallvard>> The simplest way is to write: type? get in system/words 'prin Cheers Ladislav
