Hi, As I know, for binding, you can use the := operator, and just this: $a := $b; I would like to make a proposal, based on Ruby[1]: alias $a, $b; It's a fun: sub newline { "\n" x $_; } alias newlines, newline; So you can write: print 5.enters; Currently, you have to write it a more "uglier" way: my &newlines := &newline; Anyway, char '&' is really neccesary there? It should work w/o it, too, as I think. Now - in Pugs - it doesn't. Bye, Andras [1] http://www.zenspider.com/Languages/Ruby/QuickRef.html#29Thread Next
