(...) Lucky you! We had just some cm's and its all melting away today:( Ok, here's a new version of SEE, WORDS and friends for pbforth 2.x (tested on 2.1.5). First there are some words (Graphic? ... Head) which actually exist in pbforth, but without (...) (20 years ago, 31-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) I did not explain my problem properly but you got it anyway! I do use EKEY? before EKEY, but sometimes EKEY seems to block. Thanks for taking your time to look into this. As for the new word (wow!), in Forth-79, there was a word called ?KEY (...) (20 years ago, 31-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

I should help with this tooo, maybe this weekend. Sigh. We just got between 60cm and 90 cm of fresh snow, so snowboarding and shovelling will be the primary activities, unless the roads are closed - which does happen frequently... Ralph (...)

(...) EKEY always waits for input. Use EKEY? to see if anything is available... Looking at the source, I see that there is a possiblity that in the time between checking for a character with EKEY? and actually reading it with EKEY, that an error can (...)

(...) There used to be:-) My code was written for pbforth 1.x which turned to be incompatible with 2.x (I've been out of contact with pbForth for some time and only recently got my RCX back). My fault for not testing it on the current version. Mea (...) (20 years ago, 30-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) On a plain pbForth system I get errors when trying to load this code. What do you mean by "wordlist extensions required"? Is there source code available somewhere which adds the wordlist extensions to pbForth? My pbForth doesn't know about (...) (20 years ago, 30-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) Ralph, one more question. Are there conditions where the word EKEY would wait for input (like KEY)? It seems to happen in my program. Thanks (20 years ago, 29-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) Hi I've tried to reproduce your code but Bricx has a limit on its line length. Is there an easy way round this problem or do I have to split the longer word definitions. David Liddell. (20 years ago, 28-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) Thanks Ralph. I'll try this. I might have followed the wrong track but I got to this 'test program' trying to solve the problem I have in my 'real' program: I'm writing a PbForth version of the Trailerbot (Luis Villa, Extreme Mindstorms).

Hmmm The blip and LCD clearing, while useful for debugging may be messing things up. The characters are coming in way faster than the blip time, so you may not be reading the buffer fast enough. I would put code at the end of getHeader that (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
