Output is truncated with #-signs in the REPL

by

This is just an output restriction (yes, it’s confusing) – by default the depth of value printouts in the top-level (interactive shell) is limited to a fairly small number (i.e. 5). The skipped parts are printed with #.

You can override this depth – at least, in SML-NJ – with printDepth variable:

Control.Print.printDepth := 1024;

P.S. By the way, you don’t need a separate do_xor and local function here – just

fun xor(alpha, beta) = Or(...);

will do.
