PATHNAME
DESCRIPTION
All gloo object data and scripts are stored in a heap of objects or
just "the heap". The heap is hierarchical, with some objects having
children objects. To reference an object, we use a "pathname". The
pathname starts with the root level object then has a period, ".",
then the child object name, and so forth. "a.b.c" refers to the "c"
object in the "b" container, which is in the "a" container.
ROOT
The word "root" is not needed when referring to objects. In some
special cases, "root" can be used to point to the first level of
the object heap. One such use would be with the "context" verb.
EXAMPLE
Here is an example of objects and a pathname reference to an
object within the hierarchy:
#
# Hierarchical containers.
#
a [can] :
b [can] :
c [string] : Hello World
on_load [script] : show a.b.c
