Evaluate the outcome. In this example, EVAL
has no effect because the outcome is a string. In
a

a program (possibly stored in a variable), so
EVAL would be needed.
Enable the normal stack display.
When this sequence is executed, the user sees the option messages.

key
Then the option messages reappear. When the user presses 0, [[j, or
W, the string" App 1 e", "B.3n.3na", or "Cher t- ':I" is returned to
level
1.
By modifying the list of possible outcomes, the option messages, and
the list of defined keys, you can make this sequence more significant

ables
and putting this sequence inside a local-variable structure, you
can make the following program.
