I want to create a function on my 28S which, given an argument returns a
function.

If I do:

<< -> i
    <<
	<< -> x << x i + >> >>
    >>
>> 'FOO STO

And I evaluate:

2 FOO

I get:

<< -> x << x i + >> >>

and not:

<< -> x << x 2 + >> >>

I understand that I could do it with algebraic equations, but I don't like to
set the value of global variables and evaluate the equation. I would prefer
to pass the arguments as parameters.

Question: Is there a way to return a function which depends on local
          variables ?

Thanks.
