Dear Juergen,
Having )LOAD kill the function that executed it is expected. *⍎')LOAD
ws'* should
act exactly the same as typing:
)LOAD ws
from any point. In other words )SI doesn't matter and what function it was
in doesn't matter. Just like any )LOAD, all that information is lost.
Again, having this is real helpful because you can have a startup WS
present a menu of available applications and then have the right one loaded
upon user selection. Without this feature, the user may have to know some
APL.
Obviously, this will have to be special cased in execute.
)COPY doesn't work in this scenario for obvious reasons.
If and when you get the chance....
Thanks.
Blake
