Re: [Amforth] error uploading ports-standard.frt

[J. B. <jpu...@gm...>]

Thanks, Martin + Tristan.

After reading »synonym is available since amforth 5.0« I did expect that it
is included already.

so I've tried ports-standard.frt . Worked after \-ing analog.6 and analog.7
.
Perhaps a somewhat more explicit comment would help.

PS: the PDF from Trute is very nice, because I have a lot of info in 1
document.
PS2: 'drop' is not(?) for removing defined words, it's forget → marker
empty (?)
PS3: it's ports-standard.frt, not ports-arduino.frt as per documentation.
PS4: perhaps we could add the library path to amforth-shell.py - making it
easier for beginners(?)

Kind regards, Jochen
