In my happy world, one could perform the following:<div><br></div><div>[coords 0 -1 1 1 80 90 1 100 100;(</div><div>|</div><div>|</div><div>[s $!]</div><div><br></div><div>With the example above, one could perform canvas operations on the current canvas, ie: &quot;this&quot;.  So to answer your question, $! would be the equivalent to whatever name you supplied in [namecanvas], so it&#39;s type would be that of the canvas, an object type.  </div>
<div><br></div><div>Therefore, if you attempted the following, no error should occur (again, in my happy world)</div><div><br></div><div>[clear(</div><div>|</div><div>|</div><div>[s $1]</div><div><br></div><div>Miller?</div>

If Miller wants to remove [namecanvas], just give us a &quot;this&quot; expression!  What about $! ?<br>

What would be the type of $! ?<br>
<br>
I don&#39;t think that there is any atom-type for supporting the feature that you suggest.<br>
