Can I not use constants in revserver scripts ?

[Mike Bonner]

e I think there was a thread on this that I read before.

If I recall correctly, setting a constant inside a handler works for THAT
handler.  So if you have.

<?lc
command tryConst
constant k="inside handler"
put k
end tryConst

tryconst

"inside handler" will be displayed. But setting it outside of a handler
doesn't work.

If you have the following

<?lc
command showConst
constant k="inside handler"
put k
end showConst
constant k="OutsideHandler"
put k
showconst
put k

?>

You end up with kinsidehandlerk

Keith, yeah revserver supports put.  Anything that is "put" without a
destination container ends up as part of the final page.
