I'm no expert on Forth, but I'm not sure it's a good idea to define constants inside a word definition in that manner. It's as though you are attempting to define local constants. When I try I get the same error on the first constant I attempt to define. What may be happening for you is that...

Hello Phil, The tutorial hides the definition of STRUCT in the text of the article. The author also uses lowercase so it was somewhat hard to find. You are correct "STRUCT" pushes 0 on the stack and that becomes a counter used in the definition of a structure. "field" creates new words in the...

Glad I could help. Getting back to the Back-stuffed Sortron issue, based on the available documentation the last command sent will be held until the condition clears. So if Item X has no place to go, the command that initiated that action will be held by the Sortron until the operation is...

Here's the code I've been playing with. I'm new to Forth and this has not been cleaned up or factored to to be more efficient. There are 4 8K RAM modules attached. It only supports 1 Sortron at this time. It's a work in progress. I don't explicitly save the array to disk. But when you do a...

In my setup further commands will not process until the stuffed item is able to be sent somewhere successfully. Now I'm not sure if the commands will queue up or are simply ignored. But my sort program continues to run either way. So once the blockage is cleared everything starts up again...

In my experiments a painted item with a full destination and no other place to go will return to the sortron and will be re-emited when space becomes available.

I've been searching for a forum to discuss and exchange ideas about Redpower Controller usage. The FTB forums will do. Thanks for the AutoIt link and script. I'll give them a try. I've been able to use Win32Forth to test some of the Forth I use, but when it comes to working in the...
