Re: [Amforth-devel] 2variable definition - 2 versions

[Leon M. <leo...@gm...>]

Would your just take the old definition of variable
(http://amforth.sourceforge.net/words/XT_VARIABLE.html) and replace
the 2 with a 4?

A more general request: could someone explain how variable works?

I understand how it works in the system from Staring FORTH, but not this one.

In addition, I have two more specific (and possibly quite newbish) questions.

I think some of my confusion is related to HERE. The front page says
it points to RAM. In (at least some of) the documentation of all the
words (http://amforth.sourceforge.net/words/) it looks like it's
pointing to Flash. Which is it?

Also, why (CREATE) COMPILE COMPILE instead of CREATE?
