Hello Vladimir,

s.COLOR_NAMES is a dependency involving s.COLOR_INFORMATION which is 
itself a dependency on the s.color_information{} function.  If we "$def 
s.COLOR_INFORMATION" we see it calls s.color_information{} with two 
constants, s.COLOR_FILE and s.COLOR_FILE1.  Those are set to 
"/usr/local/X11/lib/rgb.txt" and /usr/local/X11R5/lib/rgb.txt".  Neither 
of these are likely to be correct on your system where the file is 
probably "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt".

The s.color_information{} function doesn't handle the RCS comment in the 
rgb.txt file I have on my linux box.  Chances our you have the same 
comment in your file.  Copy "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt" to someplace 
such as "/usr/local/aplus-fsf-4.18/lib/rgb.txt", delete the first line 
(the RCS comment) then  after you "$load s" and before you use 
s.COLOR_NAMES, assign
"/usr/local/aplus-fsf-4.18/lib/rgb.txt" to s.COLOR_FILE.

We'll fix this in the next release.

Regarding the problem with showing your "t" as a tree in release -7, I 
wasn't able to reproduce it.
After you get the "cannot be bound" message, print "t" and let's see 
that.
