hi, i share the opinion that the gforth manual is not especially for beginners. one problem is time.... who has time to write a description of a forth word? second most forth words are explained in other documentations.... third forth is _different_ from other programming languages dont try to code in forth that way.... the code will become unreadable and ugly ;)
read thinking forth from leo brodie, beginners can read it but whats more you understand the philosophy behind forth. i learn forth/Gforth by the hard way... reading trying error retry ;) i am codiung in forth now for two or three years but i would describe my state as advanced beginner ;) but this helps you not with your problem.... but maybe this helps... due to lack of documentation for your needs you have to try try try.... dont use forth words to write your embbeded application use forth words to write a "programming language" which is able to easy express what your application should do.... if you prefer a c like syntax for your "programming language" forth gives you the power to do it in that way (though this would maybe not a good idea) after a certain time you will get a feeling how to use unknown words ;) greetings ralf --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
