Glen,

Thanks, I forgot about that. Hardly ever use it.

Matt,

If you are interested in saving things before you restore, you might do
this:

CREATE-FILE SAVED. BP 3 7 (choose better numbers

COPY DICT BP *
to: (DICT SAVED. BP

long list of names.


COPY DICT BP * (I
to: (DICT SAVED.BP

That'll drop the screen flood and just copy the items. Yay, my short term
parametric memory still works.

Glen

I must be getting old... doesn't sel-restoring the dictionary item only sel-restore the pointer to the original object code, and not the code it itself?

Logical question but it thankfully doesn't work like that. Saving and
restoring pointers to data will operate on the data, not the pointers.
Consider that the "save" verb saves the SYSTEM/MDS file, which is only
a collection of pointers. The process is intelligent enough to save
the pointer and follow the data, and the restore process knows to
allocate new frames and update the pointer as well.
