Hello Martin, This page http://amforth.sourceforge.net/TG/AVR8.html sets out how AmForth handles interrupts and I think it is relevant to your post. Earlier this year I wrote some forth[1] that used the word 1ms and it was not running as I expected. I had not realised that the execution of AmForth words written in assembler would not be interrupted. @ ! +! are assembler words and so will not be interrupted.
