However, if you really want to do this, this could give something like: : myTestInit ( str -- newstr ) "Testing: " swap append ; : myTestWord ( seq -- str ) { "Arg1" "Arg2" "Arg3" "Arg4" } [ write ": " write print ] 2each "myTestWord" ; : myTestDriver ( seq -- str ) "(null)" myTestInit add* myTestWord drop "myTestDriver" ; : main ( -- ) { "Two" "Three" "Four" } myTestDriver drop ; Now, since the return values of myTestWord and myTestDriver are never used, you would rather do: : myTestInit ( str -- newstr ) "Testing: " swap append ; : myTestWord ( seq -- ) { "Arg1" "Arg2" "Arg3" "Arg4" } [ write ": " write print ] 2each ; : myTestDriver ( seq -- ) "(null)" myTestInit add* myTestWord ; : main ( -- ) { "Two" "Three" "Four" } myTestDriver ; or, to avoid repetition of Arg1 .. Arg4, : myTestInit ( str -- newstr ) "Testing: " swap append ; : arg ( n -- str ) "Arg" swap number>string append ": " append ; : myTestWord ( seq -- ) 4 [ 1+ arg write print ] 2each ; : myTestDriver ( seq -- ) "(null)" myTestInit add* myTestWord ; : main ( -- ) { "Two" "Three" "Four" } myTestDriver ; Sam -- Samuel Tardieu -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.rfc1149.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
