Your code works; mine didn't though I'm not sure why. Lifes too short to figure out everything; I'll just use yours. The next problem I'm working on is some way to issue DOS commands from Forth. I need to to some file renaming, deleting, unzipping, etc. I'd like to be able to do it from Forth without resorting to external batch files. Know of any PYGMY routines that have been developed?
