First: To get a list of all the environemt queries available the following command can be used > environment show-wordlist /user cpu version forth-name /hold /pad wordlists ok > s" /user" environment? . . -1 38 ok > Second: Environment queries cannot be used in colon definitions (like : foo s" /user" environment? ... ) this due to the fact that environment? expects the string in RAM and s" compiles the string into flash and returns the flash address at runtime. A workaround would look like : foo [ s" /user" environment? drop ] literal ... A better solution would be to make environment? state smart and make it use the flash strings if compiled. Another one would be to change s" to copy the flash string back to ram and leave its address there when called.
