Re: [eclipse-users] Problems with attributed variables

dom([1,2,3]) was an example for testing the unification predicates, the 
final code will be like "add_attribute(X, dom(Dom), dom)"...

Now I try with the "final" Dom, the one must be instanced.

Thanks a lot
Matteo

(I'll change the AttrXY variable name, good hint!)
