Hi Craig, amforth-shell.py does recognize multi-line comments while AmForth does not. I consider this a feature. Example:
(* &46 constant PORTE *) 0 PORTE c! If you load the above via the shell the PORTE constant won't be created and PORTE will be subtituted by a number. If you load the above via a simple terminal emulator the code still works as the constant PORTE will get created.
