Re: [Amforth] wordlists empowered

Hello Matthias & All,

Just in case someone is interested in my kernel patching exercise for
automatic wordlist selection :-)

Delving into the asm code I see that my current docreate.asm patch is
insufficient since the created word is actually linked to the selected
wordlist outside XT_DOCREATE.

It would save some code and would be cleaner programming to put the
equivalent to [.dw XT_GET_CURRENT, .dw XT_STOREE] inside XT_HERE except
for the XT_COLON / XT_SEMICOLON "smudge" issue.

Will have it done tomorrow.

I hope that I managed to persuade some of you that auto wordlist
selection is a good thing ;-)
