how to enter hex values

[John R. Hogerhuis]

What's the best way to enter hex values in df? I am used to using $12 for example in Gforth. Anything similar?

Thanks! I like dragon forth so far. Only problem I'm having is building df from Forth, but it is a problem of getting the right versions of all the tools, paths, etc... I figure if I can build it then I create patches for the project as I find problems... mostly so far it has just been trivial spelling issues (the most annoying being "successfully" on load of dfcons is spelled wrong...)

You could try this :

: $ base @ >r bl parse hex evaluate r> base ! ;

which then make

$ a .
10

But you can also just enter value prefixed with 0x

0xa .
10

Cheers,
