Someone can explain me what does mean [ ... ]?
It appears with these commands:
>>a: [ ]
>>insert a reduce [ a ]
== [ [ ... ] ]
It seems a block which refers itself. Right?
If you make:
>> print a
** Internal Error: Stack overflow
** Where: do-boot
** Near: print a
Infinite loop. Evaluate block forever.
After this, a new print give a crash under window. There is no more stack.
All right?

Hi Romano
The notation [ ... ] indicates a recursive block. That is a block which
contains a reference to itself. MOLD will work on such a block but FORM
gives a stack error and PRINT uses form.
