Description


The STKPICK command retrieves an object at a given level from a given snapshot on the Undo stack.

The command has little utility in interactive mode, since each time a command is typed and XEQted a snapshot of the stack is pushed on the Undo stack, altering the position of the intended snapshot.

Compatibility


This command is new in newRPL and does not exist in userRPL.

Usage


The following program

« 10 11 12 13
  STKPUSH
  CLEAR
  "ABC"
  STKPUSH
  CLEAR
  2 3 STKPICK
»

will PICK the third element (level 1 argument) from snapshot on level 2 (Level 2 argument) of the Undo stack, resulting in the number 11 being left on the current stack.
