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
% SeeRope
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"
&3 ← &s[second]
"Second"
