Re: Eval in context

Dear Steven &
public-xformsusers,


 S.P.: * ) Evaluates the string as an expression in the current context *)
Evaluates the string as an expression in the given context.

Is there a reason for this?



G.W P:  Thinking of real lifes, daily lifes, of men:
Expressions have contexts --they are contextual-- and they have meanings to
interpret and values to evaluate... ( That comes from my a reading of mine
about meanings and values in relation with (human) existence.)

Regard,
Guntur Wiseno Putra
