Re: [gforth] 'cold doesn't work?

[Cameron Esfahani]

I think I've figured out my problem.  The documentation for 'cold is, 
at least to me, misleading.  If I'm planning on using the standard 
gforth.fi image file, then I cannot hook into 'cold and handle command 
line arguments, as my file won't be loaded until after 'cold is called. 
 And since my file is where I override 'cold, it's a moot point.

So this begs the question, how do people write forth programs that are 
run with gforth, using the standard gforth.fi image file, and yet 
handle command line arguments?

which hopefully shows my problem.

\ test.fth

: test-cold
        cr ." test-code called" cr
        ;
:noname
        DEFERS 'cold
        test-cold ; IS 'cold
And when I invoke this on the command line with:

gforth test.fth

I don't get any output other than the standard banner message.  If I 
call 'cold manually, I do see my output.  I've also verified via "see" 
that 'cold does indeed point to my anonymous routine.

This is on gforth 0.6.2.  Anyone have any ideas?
