[Flashforth-devel] Elements of FlashForth tutorial

[Pete Z. <pza...@pz...>]

Hi Peter,

Not sure I am able to see your new version yet.
Only found a few spelling typos in the original.

Here are 2 words I find very helpful exploring the usefulness of 
FlashForth and PIC18 microcontrollers:

  : .mem  ( -- )          \ print current memory locations
     base @  hex
     cr ." flash  "  flash  here #4 u.r
     cr ." eeprom "  eeprom here #4 u.r
     cr ." ram    "  ram    here #4 u.r
     base !  ;

  : c?%  ( addr -- )                 \ print byte contents at addr in binary
     2 spaces base @ swap
     c@ 8 bin u.r
     base !  ;

c?% is useful to look at SFRs.

.mem is useful to examine further what Mikael was saying about FORGET vs 
EMPTY .

          Side note:  I still prefer the original FORTH word COLD to 
Mikael's EMPTY.

Don't leave out DUMP, especially when learning to create arrays and jump 
tables.

Pete
