Forth? I agree with your definition of what is not stand-alone, but I can't see where my definition match with yours... Maybe the problem is with the "load". In this case, "load" can mean "load from ROM to RAM", "load, at BOOT, from drive", "just initialize it"... >> (8-DCS) > Zarko Berberski EBERBERS@YUBGEF51.bitnet (8-DCS) Daniel C.
