Hey-ho--

I am attempting to learn how to do web programming with Factor. Now, I
understand that it is generally recommended to use the high-level
API--page actions and such--but I am finding that with all the magic
that happens behind the scenes, I can't understand how to usefully
modify any of the existing example apps, let alone write my own. So I'm
trying to start with some of the lower-level vocabularies, such as
html.forms. However:

( scratchpad ) <form> "my-form" set
( scratchpad ) "my-form" get

--- Data stack:
T{ form f ~vector~ ~hashtable~ f }
( scratchpad ) "my-form" [ "Jim Bob" "who" set-value ] with-form

Here I get an error saying 

  Generic word values>> does not define a method for the POSTPONE: f
  class.

... which I guess means that the form is not actually getting bound to
the form variable in the scope of with-form. Can anyone tell me what I'm
doing wrong? I am running the last development version of Factor on
Linux.

Also, I'd be interested to know the rationale for with-form taking a
variable represented by a string rather than a symbol or a form object.

Finally, I asked a question on April 6 about webapps.blogs, but never
got any responses. Anybody have any answers for that one?

Thanks!
