Colon Words structure

[Pere font vilanova]

Hi Mike
Mr john from Udamonic told me about you.
I would like if someone can help me with my project of being able to modify some word created with colon.
If I look at the word with "see" I see that each word in the definition is a set of 3 bytes or 24 bits (as explained in the pic 24 manuals) but if I look in the direction of the word and do a "dump" I notice that each word It is only made up of a set of 2 bytes or 16 bits...
How is that possible?..
I wll appreciate any information about dictionary estructure
thank you in advance.

Hi,
DUMP only shows the 2 lower data space bytes. The upper byte is only used for code and it is not shown by DUMP.
You can compile 'idump.fs'. IDUMP also shows the the upper byte.
