ROPE Language Reference - "strcat"

"strcat" takes a number of strings and concatinates them together into one, which is pushed back onto the stack.

With AnchorBrackets, "strcat" concatinates all the strings between the brackets. Without AnchorBrackets, it simply concatinates the top two items from the stack.

"abc" "def" "ghi" strcat println      # -- prints "defghi"
strcat( "abc" "def" "ghi" ) println   # -- prints "abcdefghi"

Note that strcat's returned string is built up on the ROPE Jotter, and as such, the number of calls to strcat within a single script should be kept down.
