You could let the "user" write some functions such as<br><br>function String parFoo(){ return "foo42"; }<br><br>and evaluate them in a rule firing with high priority on eval(true).<br><br>-W<br><br><br>

like a darn convenient place to set some configuration settings so the user
could change them in the plain text file. Otherwise I have to implement
another configuration settgin system then feed that to th setGlobal…</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">No, globals can only be
set by calling the WorkingMemory method<br>
wm.setGlobal(String name, Object value)<br>
<br>
You could call this in a consequence (RHS), but it's usually not a good idea to
do so.<br>
<br>
What do you want to achieve?<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Shouldn’t it
be possible to set a global variable value within the rule file itself at the
