But I did not find it in 20 seconds, so here we go: > $ cat ./avr8/words/plusstore.asm > VE_PLUSSTORE: > .dw $ff02 > .db "+!" > .dw VE_HEAD > ... The first .dw entry is "some number", where the low part "02" is the length of the string to come. That string is "+!", 2 bytes. The high part "ff" is a flags thing. "immediate" words are different: > $ cat ./common/words/then.asm > ... > VE_THEN: > .dw $0004 > .db "then" > ... There might be other values, but I'm not sure. This stuff is implementation dependant and may be all different in other Forth implementations.
