ahh.... now i understand...
it seems to be a beginners pitfall... but it is logic... do consumes

btw i find it hard to work with forth.. not because of forth is bad.... (no 
its too simple) because of myself used to work with complexer languages... 
you cant see the trees in the forrest....

my first kachel program was in pure latex. it works fine, but it was a bit 
unhandy providing parameters.....

my second was in perl.... it produces latex output and parameter handling was 
flexible....

then i read about forth... and was surprised... so i coded a 3rd version
it was shorter and more elegant than the perl programm but coding took 3 times 
longer... ( du to learning forth )

then i start reading thinking forth 4 days ago.... and now... i am coding the 
4th version (because now the 3rd is ugly, unelegant, influenced by perl 
etc... )

it is a bit like zen....

thx for your help
