I recommend going through the tutorial, you can get to it by clicking
"Help" and "Your first program" or doing this at the listener prompt:
"first-program" help
You can create a word definition using colon definition:
: add-5 ( x -- y ) 5 + ;
And that expects one argument on the stack and leaves one argument on the
stack after being called.
I think that's roughly what CREATE ... DOES> is like, with a body. But
CREATE without DOES> could be either of these:
CONSTANT: five 5 ! pushes ``5`` onto the stack when called
SYMBOL: foo ! pushes the symbol itself onto the stack when
called
Best,
John.
