parse(): don't use variables from outer scope

The parse() function accessed the same object under two names:
"n" (even though it's not a number...) as the function argument,
and "reply" from the outer scope.

This arrangement made the code difficult to understand.

Renaming the argument "n" as "reply" makes the function only access
variables from its own scope.
