Thanks for the tip. That way my first post, I didn't know how would it look.

Anyway looks like defset is exactly what I need. Thanks a lot!

It occurs to me that there's another problem with this code: your use of t as a variable name. This is outright forbidden globally:

  arc> (= t (table))
  Error: "Can't rebind t"
. Though it does work locally, it is nevertheless inadvisable: t is the global "true" value (equivalent to 't). It's probably better to use tb as the name for your table.

Glad to be of assistance.

And don't ever use tab, particularily for a table : it is a macro's name so it will get you in trouble.

Or we could fix that part of the language ;)

Seriously, that's one of my biggest standing irritations. If I have some time, I might look at fixing that in the Anarki, actually.

I also had a problem with tab and also think that it should be fixed.

Btw what do I need to load to get the base language without any web stuff. Are there an official "base" part? As.scm loads all the libraries for me. Do I need to load arc.arc only to get the base language.

Yes, that would be the way to do it, but I don't know a simple way to load only arc.arc.
