SeeRope is a workaround for the inability of Cirio to display complex ropes. SeeRope implements a single procedure, See, which takes a ROPE input and returns a flattened TEXT as output which Cirio can display.
Using SeeRope is clumsy. In your Cedar world, give the command
to get SeeRope loaded into your world.
When Cirio pops up, to look at a ROPE variable named foo in the stopped world, execute
&1 ← GLOBALVARS[SeeRope].See[foo]
in the Cirio command window.
If you expect to look at many ROPEs, you can do:
&1 ← &s ← GLOBALVARS[SeeRope].See
&2 ← &s[first]
"FirstRope"
