``Memory management is stack management'' is a failing of the implementation of Forth, more than of the language itself. That implementation shows up most annoyingly in FORGET: it throws away everything after the word you really want to change (which could be 20 or 30 definitions deep). This is another reason you fall back into the edit/compile/execute loop, especially when debugging. -- Stephen P. Schaefer Systems Programmer schaefer@bgsu ...!cbosgd!osu-eddie!bgsuvax!schaefer
