In a "recent" posting (expired from my system) someone mentioned that
the most (only?) significant change to ST-80 syntax since the Blue
Book was the addition of block temporaries.

Two Questions:

(1)  What is the syntax for block temporaries?
     I'd guess something like [:x | a b | ...] where a and b are the
     temps.  I have to guess because I don't have access to ST-80.

(2) Is there a filein that adds block temporaries to ST/V?
    Or any fix that a near-novice could apply?
    (Preferably for ST/V Mac, if it matters.)

Thanks for any help,
Mark
