If that is the case then it is impossible to comment out code if you have
embedded stack diagrams in it. That results in nested comments which are
illegal.
I guess I'm back to trying to add multi line comments with my own code.

Hi Craig,
Forth default comments are simple ( ) parentheses, brackets.
These are the ones the shell respects:
|C|1|\ This comment is respected by amforth
|W|2|
|C|3|(
|C|4|
|C|5|1 1 + .
|C|6|
|C|7|This comment is resepected by the shell
|C|8|
|C|9|)
|W| 10|
Enoch,
I just tried out multi line comments for the first time using the shell and
it doesn't seem to work as I would expect.
Here is a little bit of the code I am working on
\ Define some named bit fields
&5 &0 &4 bitfield: READ_BL_LEN
&6 &0 &2 bitfield: C_SIZE_HIGH
&7 &0 &8 bitfield: C_SIZE
Thanks Enoch,
I hadn't realized the shell supported multi line comments and since I only
use the excellent shell, I can accomplish what I want without extra code.
Great,

I had no need for such comments...

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
I know I will probably get flamed for wanting multiline comments but I think
they are really handy when writing / debugging code.
I thought it would be a trivial exercise to add multiline comments but I
was wrong.
I tried this code
\ Refill if at end of input line
: ?refill( --- f )
