One of the great things on Forth imho is that you can make the system do, what your eyes please. So a few variations on " .s " : \ variations on dot-s \ dot-s, one way, signed output: : ds sp@ sp0 1 cells - do i @ . -2 +loop ; \ dot-s, one way, unsigned output: : uds sp@ sp0 1 cells - do i @ u. -2 +loop ; \ dot-s, the other way (reverse?), signed output: : rs sp@ sp0 swap do i @ . 2 +loop ; \ dot-s, the other way, unsigned output: : urs sp@ sp0 swap do i @ u. 2 +loop ; \ dot-s, verbose, as it used to be in earlier versions of amforth: : dsv depth dup 0 do i u. dup i - cells sp0 swap - dup u. @ . cr loop ; : udsv depth dup 0 do i u. dup i - cells sp0 swap - dup u. @ u. cr loop ; And watch the show: |> .s |65530 5 4 3 2 1 ok |> ds |1 2 3 4 5 -6 ok |> uds |1 2 3 4 5 65530 ok |> hex uds |1 2 3 4 5 FFFA ok |> rs |-6 5 4 3 2 1 ok |> urs |65530 5 4 3 2 1 ok |> dsv |0 1539 -6 |1 1541 5 |2 1543 4 |3 1545 3 |4 1547 2 |5 1549 1 | ok |> Just never assume that your preferred solution solves the same problem for everyone else. I read words/depth.asm for enlightenment, and I chose the above without using pick, because pick needs to be added to the dictionary. Obviously there is more than one way to do this. You may *want* error checking. I don't. If I do a mistake, well I excuse the system for crashing.
