Re: [Reduce-algebra-developers] sequence of "dummy variables" inside a procedure

[Kostas O. <k.o...@at...>]

Eberhard,

Thanks very much.  This works, in that  Reduce does not consider 'x' to
be  an operator outside of my procedure.
And this is what I wanted. 

I read in the primer about gensym(), and I think I know what

put('anonymous_id,'psopfn,'gensym);

does, but I don't totally understand how all of this works in

procedure s1s2(...);
    begin scalar x;
        x := anonymous_id();
        operator x;
        ...


                                Kostas
