I'm currently engaged in converting some of my Isabelle proof scripts
into Isar.

So, for example, I get

apply (tactic
"(TRYALL (dres_inst_tac [(\"x\", \"0\")] fun_cong THEN'
Force_tac))") ;
apply (tactic "(TRYALL (etac notE))") ;
apply (tactic "(TRYALL (EVERY' [ rtac ext,
dres_inst_tac [(\"x\", \"Suc ?x\")] fun_cong,
Force_tac]))") ;

Now this works, when entered during an interactive session.
It doesn't work, when it is part of a theory file.

Now this is something to do with the current theory context.
Because when I change it to

apply (tactic
"(TRYALL (dres_inst_tac [(\"x\", \"0\")] fun_cong THEN'
CLASIMPSET' force_tac))") ;
apply (tactic "(TRYALL (etac notE))") ;
apply (tactic "(TRYALL (EVERY' [ rtac ext,
dres_inst_tac [(\"x\", \"Suc ?x\")] fun_cong,
CLASIMPSET' force_tac]))") ;

it does work.

However I would very much like to know why.

Any help would be appreciated.

Jeremy
