Also from the proteus link, i read 'these variables cannot escape the local scope; if passed into a function or closed over', which is a problem with code such as in my example I suppose.

Although I keep asking dumb newbie questions, everyone still gives helpful replies, Thanks all... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
