<p class="inwebparagraph"><a id="SP1"></a><b>&#167;1. Block Format. </b>The short block of a stored action is simply a pointer to a long block. The
long block always has a length of 6 words.
</p>
<p class="inwebparagraph">An action which involves a topic &mdash; such as the one produced by the command
LOOK UP JIM MCDIVITT IN ENCYCLOPAEDIA &mdash; cannot be tried without the text
of that topic (JIM MCDIVITT) being available. That's no problem if the action
is tried in the same turn in which it is generated, because the text will
still be in the command buffer. But once we store actions up for future
use it becomes an issue. So when we store an action involving a topic,
we record the actual text typed at the time when it is stored, and this
goes into array entry 5 of the block. Because that in turn is text,
and therefore a block value on the heap in its own right, we have to be a
little more careful about destroying and copying stored actions than we
otherwise would be.
</p>
<p class="inwebparagraph">Note that entries 1 and 2 are values whose kind depends on the action in
entry 0: but they are never block values, because actions are not allowed
to apply to block values. This simplifies matters considerably.
