rename_word()

Finds an AEL word and renames it. Returns TRUE if rename took place, FALSE if an error occurred.

Syntax:

rename_word(orig, new [, voc]);

where

orig is a string that represents the original name of the word to be changed.

new is a string that represents the new name to be given to orig.

voc is optional. A string that represents what vocabulary to search for orig. If voc is not passed, the current vocabulary is searched. Note that the parent tree of the vocabulary is searched until orig is found.

Example:

decl a=10;
rename_word("a", "b");
             // a will no longer access a variable
             // the variable can now only be accessed with "b"
