M.-- Sorry I didn't respond earlier. I've been nearly unable to send mail for the last week. (New office, new firewall, bad SMTP server :-). I think the cell change is a pure bug fix. The VAR_HEAD was leftover from the days (perhaps just one day) when I thought that a cell would contain multiple pointers. The cell objects aren't documented (so far as I know) and are only used internally to implemented nested scopes. I had originally thought that each scope with "cell variables" would store all the pointers in a single cell. That ended up being a bad idea, because a single escaping cell var would keep all the other objects in the cell alive. The one-object-per-cell model minimizes that amount of garbage kept alive by escaping variables. Jeremy
