Term "Stream" usually used if variable is used as a stream, which means that output which is usually goes to result text is redirected to a variable. In this case, we say that "stream" is open. Output to result text is suppressed if even one stream is open. To open stream x, the following action can be issued: .+x A few streams can be open concurrently. For example: .+y .+stream2 ... To stop redirecting output data to a stream x, action .-x can be issued. To stop redirecting to all streams, action .- can be issued. To open stream "x" with initial x value x="", action .*x can be used instead of .+x
