Howdy, Joachim: Letsee... if I understand correctly, here's a quick and dirty approach that does something like that: rules: [ 'foo (do-foo) | 'add set new-word word! set action block! ( append rules reduce [ '| to-lit-word new-word to-paren action ] ) ] forever [parse compose [(load ask "?? ")] [some rules]] comment [ ;-- For example: ?? zamo ?? add zamo [print "ZAMO!!"] ?? zamo ZAMO!! ?? add goof [print "GOOOOFFFF!!!"] ?? goof GOOOOFFFF!!! ?? add quit [quit] ?? quit ] ;- jeff

Hello, I've been experimenting with rules in the last days and encountered this problem, without findin a satisfactory solution: 1] I've a block of words to load when the script is launched 2] I'll get some input from the user (ASK) 3] One first rule should check if the user typed one of the words (so I can execute an appropriate function/command) and eventually parsing for following data 4] Another rule should test if I typed 'ADD <newword>', where 'ADD is a literal word and <newword> should be added to the block of words parsed in the rules 5] exit saving updated block Anyone has a clue doing this in a clean&simple way? -- Joachim Thomas - [jthomas--mail--evo--it] - ICQ 18088459 Amiga1260+Amiga4060PPC604 Member of ATO (italian Division) http://bilbo.di.unipi.it/~ato-it & Phoenix Consortium Concerti - Gruppi Musicali & Locali http://concertitalia.supereva.it Virtual PHOTO Gallery http://www.terzomercato.com/free/jt_home Error in operator: add beer -- Terrance Richard Boyes
