The following has no effect: HEX 3002 301F 22 LCD_NUMBER LCD_REFRESH The following do as expected: LCD_4TH LCD_REFRESH LCD_CLEAR LCD_REFRESH Am I missing something? I've tried a few other things with LCD_NUMBER. Once I got 9999 on the display (that (...) (24 years ago, 24-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) Considering that it has been almost 20 years from my first attempt you should rather say "about time." CREATE DOES> is important to me because it is sort of a minimalist object creator in the sense that it allows the creation of classes of (...)

CREATE DOES>, VALUE and EVALUATE. Thank's guys. These will all enhance my code. I knew about CREATE DOES> but never really understood it. Your description pushed me finally over the edge of basic comprehension. EVALUATE is really cool and VALUE is (...) (24 years ago, 24-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

Now the delete/reload can be done entirely at the GUI. (24 years ago, 24-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) Actually the various reasons are simple so I might as well state them. The serial port is not available at the time I want to create a constant because the serial port will be broken and therefor can't be used as the forth input stream. I am (...)

(...) I still want to create a constant from within a definition. I have an initializing word that will calculate the value of the constant. For various reasons I can't do this calculation except within the runtime behavior of the word. This is not (...) (24 years ago, 24-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
