    Thanks, for the clarification. I assume that the address can be a 
 symbol like 'HERE' or 'THERE' or 'CONTAINER' etc. As an extremely crude 
 example, lets try the following.

 CONSTANT UARTBASE 3F8 ;

 : CLR8250 6 FOR UARTBASE + 0 ! NEXT;

 Is this correct, the logic I am attempting to do is to write 0's to each
 register in the UART located at $3F8. If not could you fix up the word 
 so I can understand the control structure. If I am going to use the RTX 
 I am going to need to be able to use Forth. Thanks again.
