  18. Is there a deep write method.
  19.  
  20. Just come came across what I suspect there to be a weakness
  21. inherent in the function write().  No knowing how to do repeated
  22. recursive diggin, how would someone write a deep write...
  23.  
  24. The following fails.
  25.  
  26. procedure main ()
  27.  
  28.  car1 := ["buick", "skylark", 1978, 2450]
  29.  car2 := ["bmw", "535is", 1987, 3000]
  30.  
  31.  inventory := [car1, car2]
  32.  
  33.  write (inventory)
  34.  
  35. end
  36.  
  37. I would like to see the 'write (inventory)' work as a deep
  38. write....
  39.  
  40. Thanks,
