[Amforth-devel] Variable and 2variable space in ram, .res info

[pito <pi...@vo...>]

Hi, 
why a variable xxx occupies 2 cells? (when observing with ".res"
word) and 2variable 4 cells? (with the definition -> : 2variable
here 2 cells allot constant ; ).OR: does .res returns # of Bytes instead of cells?

> .res
free FLASH cells      9628 
free RAM cells        1754 
used EEPROM cells     62 
used data stack cells 0 
used return stack     10 
free return stack     70 
ok
