Re: A short swoop question

Morten,

The short answer is that only defining words that are SWOOP
aware may be used within a class (like CONSANT or VARIABLE)
Others like VALUE may or may not be compatible with swoop and
certainly can not be referenced outside the class definition.

If you want to create your own defining words to use in a class
definition I uploaded a file named ASWOOP.SRC to the FAQ a
while back which is a SWOOP replacement that allows you to
create defining words within a class. (i.e. it provides it's own
CREATE DOES> pair.).

Hope this helps.
