Only one level of "keep" is achieved, e.g., +if a script with a keep is called from a higher level script, then when +the higher level script terminates the task definitions will still be lost +(unless this higher level script also uses \fIkeep\fR). +.ih +EXAMPLE +1. The most common use for \fIkeep\fR is to retain a set of definitions +in a script task. + +.nf + set pkdir = "home$hebrew/" + task aleph, beth, kaph = hebrew.cl + + keep +.fi +.ih +SEE ALSO +task, package +.endhelp -- cgit
