Someone can explain me what does mean [ ... ]? It appears with these commands:
>>a: [ ] >>insert a reduce [ a ]
== [ [ ... ] ] It seems a block which refers itself. Right? If you make:
>> print a
** Internal Error: Stack overflow ** Where: do-boot ** Near: print a Infinite loop. Evaluate block forever. After this, a new print give a crash under window. There is no more stack. All right? Romano Paolo Tenca

Hi Romano The notation [ ... ] indicates a recursive block. That is a block which contains a reference to itself. MOLD will work on such a block but FORM gives a stack error and PRINT uses form. HTH -Larry
