I started to adapt a subset of David Mutter's ListExt library and GoferList to newRPL. It's very fast and efficient. On the other hand I noticed that the structure DIR ... END is not supported in newRPL. Claudio, will it be in the future? It would give more readable sources than having to do "STO" for each program.

Yes, directories aren't objects, more like dictionaries so they live outside of the RPL realm. I didn't implement that syntax because I had something better in mind, more like RPL libraries than directories, the idea is a generic container of named objects that could be installed as a system-wide library, extracted to a directory or even to a local var environment without exploding the object.
Anyway, it's not yet implemented so for now you have to use lists, but perhaps it's time to discuss the final details of that format.

By the way, there's a couple of new commands in newRPL that I added, inspired by David's library that will help in the implementation of some of his commands.
