But that's not important right now. Lines: 20 Category 1, Topic 19 Message 36 Sat May 25, 1991 ELLIOTT.C at 08:30 EDT Paul Varn, Did you try the TOP or IND commands? If there's a better place to put this exchange I'll find it, or STArt a new topic in CATegory 1 or 7, (which you could have done). In the meantime - I share your consternation: it's been so long since I actually created a file of Forth source code that I had to try to read up too. Way back when faced with the same problem I may have created a file by way of the OS (MSDOS) and then openned it in Forth to add blocks with MORE. I just spent a few minutes poking around (could have started with WORDS but didn't) and came up with n CREATE-FILE . "n" is the number of blocks you feel like starting with. ----- This message came from GEnie via willett. You *cannot* reply to the author using e-mail.
