Hallo Lutz;
I am new to newLisp and have one question about contexts.
Don't you loose overview when working with some hundred contexts due to the flat layout ?
Would it be difficult to implement a "filtering" context browser in the Browser/Editor pane ?
Regards, Eric

Hi newEric,
The upper-left pane in the Browser/Editor window lists the contexts. Click one and the bottom-left pane shows details of that context. Click one of those and the definition appears in the large right pane.

Welcome to newLISP Eric, usually one doesn't have that much contexts when using contexts as modules dividing your code into mangeable and lexically isoloated pieces.
When using contexts as objects then yes, you could have thousands of them or much more, but then probably only during runtime. There is a lot which could be done on the Tcl/Tk frontend, but I am to busy at other parts of the system at the moment and I am getting more and more enamored with Pjot's GTK-Server. I think one day I want to redo a frontend for newLISP, but using GTK-Server, then I will remember your idea of filtered browser lists.
