Hello,
is it possible to emulate the word "CREATE" in the old fig forth so I can insert some bytes in the directory like,

create test 81 c, 82 c, 83 c,
and when I call test the address of the first byte will be on the stack.

Thank for any help.
Cheers,
Jan

Code:

HERE 81 C, 82 C, 83 C, CONSTANT TEST

Here's a sample run where I then read back the three bytes from RAM:

Code:

HERE 81 C, 82 C, 83 C, CONSTANT TEST OK
test c@ . 81 OK
test 1 + c@ . 82 OK
test 2 + c@ . 83 OK

Note that the header for this word ends up AFTER the data.

If you'd like to have the header first so that you can keep adding more data, you might like:

Code:

: MYCREATE <BUILDS DOES> ;

along with a sample run:

Code:

: MYCREATE <BUILDS DOES> ; OK
MYCREATE TEST 81 C, 82 C, 83 C, OK
TEST C@ . 81 OK
TEST 1+ C@ . 82 OK
TEST 2 + c@ . 83 OK
