Feb 2009 -- Due to time pressures, the ongoing development of 'rope' has been suspended temporarily.

ROPE Language Reference - "inc"

The "inc" action takes either an integer value or a register reference off the stack. If it was an integer value, then "inc" adds one to it and pushes back the result. If it was a register reference, then ROPE adds one to the value held in the register (which must be an integer value).

So...

$n inc

Adds one to the value stored in $n and puts it back in $n - so the value held in $n is changed.

Where as...

$n get inc

Takes the value held in $n adds one to it and pushes the result onto the stack. The value held in $n is not changed in this case.
