### 5.2.10 importfrom

`Syntax:`
  `importfrom(` package_name `,` name `);`
  `importfrom(` package_name `,` list_of_names `);`
`Purpose:`
  creates a new identifier in the current package which is a copy of the one specified by name in the package package_name. package_name can be `Top` or any other identifier of type package.

`Note:`
  Objects defined in a ring are not automatically imported when importing the ring.

`Warning:`
  The identifier is copied to the current package. It does still exist (independently) in the package package_name. If the identifier should be erased in the package from which it originates, exportto should be used instead.

`Example:`

      listvar(Top);
      ==> // Top                            [0]  package Top (N)
