I'm running this in Smile 1.8.8 under OS9.2
Can anyone tell me what is happening when I use the class name in
these examples?
{"a", "b", "c"}
--> {"a", "b", "c"}
list {"a", "b", "c"}
--> ERROR: Can't get list {"a", "b", "c"}
What is happening here? Why is it that we can we can refer to the
object? How can we get the object?
list, string, record, number, file specification etc. cannot be used
this way. You can, on the other hand say
{1, 2} as string
--> "12"
"3" as list
--> {"3"}
{} as record
result & {a:4}
--> {a:4}
(path to me) as file specification
--> file "dx:Applications:Smile252:Smile.app:"
whereas to can say
file (path to me as string)
-- file "dx:Applications:Smile252:Smile.app:"
but not
(path to me as string) as file
--> "Can't make \"dx:Applications:Smile252:Smile.app:\" into a file."
The two kinds of thing are completely different.
