Fellow TeXmacs users,

Can someone tell me the difference between the 'assign' command and the
'with' command? The attached file has three tables, whose width is set
by a variable. The first two are set by 'assign'. The third is set
with 'with'. However, my use of 'with' does not seem to alter the
variable in the manner I expect.

Please shed some light on this if you can.

Thanks,
Robert Lamar
