[comp.lang.forth] Stack Macine Theory Question

lowry@src.honeywell.com (Dave Lowry) (03/05/91)

Could someone explain to a FORTH neophyte the operation of CPUs that run
FORTH directly (RTX,SC32, etc.)  I have been unable to find the stack
machines book mentioned on the net.  

Are words like NEXT and COLON in the instruction set?  

What does the memory image look like-- is it like a conventional FORTH
where machine code and word addresses are interspersed?
