I do know that cmForth has a for/next, but don't know how it works. I did assume that Ian had gotten for/next because it's a more common usage in other languages. Anyway, no great harm done, since after all do loop is in fact standard forth, and the whole issue of loop limits on the stack instead of variables is crucial to understanding what's going on in forth, right? But thanks for pointing out this crucial misunderstanding. ----- This message came from GEnie via willett through a semi-automated process.
