Re: [sc-dev] Document.current isNil bug

[Jan Trützschler <falkenst@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi fredrik,
recompiling is a tricky thing for the document class. scview just 
solves this problem by just closing all windows.
all variables that should survive a recompile would have to have a 
primitive.
or maybe i can write one that brings all relevant ones into the lang.
