Yeh :) One of the sweetest things about Forth is the ability to stop at any point in the compilation process, perform any computation you might want to, then resume compilation. It takes a while to get the hang of it, but the power associated with this approach is one of those things that makes Forth unique. More than just IMMEDIATE words ;) BobLQ -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-lpsg
