A rename func: rename-ob: func [o name1 name2][context head change find third o to-set-word name1 to-set-word name2] >> o: context [a: 1 b: 2] >> probe rename-ob o 'a 'c make object! [ c: 1 b: 2 ] but there are many many situations in which it fails: o: context [a: 1 b: [a: 3]] o: context [a: 1 b: func [] [a: 3]] rename-ob o 'a 'c change the first a: but not the second one. The same for delete: delete-ob: func [o name][context head remove/part find third o to-set-word name 2] --- Ciao Romano -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes.
