Perhaps are you missing that the @d would be
relative to the results of the LHS instead of the current node?

Isn't this equivalent to just:

B B key('c',@d)B

or am I missing something?

Thanks,

Of course, the solution is an updated QuickRef
such as Mulberry's Quick References (back in the
day), and yes, good examples of this kind of
thing are works of art. I hesitate to mention
this only because I am not volunteering to do any actual work this time. :-)

But a hand-held printable "Dungeon master's
guide" cheat sheet to go with whatever Norm is
working on, would be fantabulous (wouldn't it)?

(by Sam, me, Debbie and Tommie?) - evidently,
both page-printable and online-browsable forms
present actual design problems. Think about how
it should look on a handheld device, for example.

Cheers, Wendell

Thatbs certainly the case, therebs a lot of valuable information in the
markup that we can use to improve access to the specs.

B  B  B  B  B  B  B  B  B  B  B  B  B  B  B  B  B  B  B  B  Be seeing you,
