Yes, the UseNet messages from the comp.lang.forth news group are transfered through the Virtual Forth Net, but I'm sorry to say that we do not have an email connection. Brad checks into one of the xCFB's (can't remeber which one), and he should let you know when he next signs on. DaR ----- This message came from GEnie via willett through a semi-automated process.

It should have at least 4 or 5 digits, and have something called a segment pointer to go along with it. However, it just might be an I/O address, and 8 locations might just be right. I can't remeber if F83 has a high level I/O instruction built in but it would be called something like INPUT and OUTPUT or P@ and P! or maybe even PC@ or PC!. On INTEL processors, I/O is handled on a seperate channel so you do not use memory instructions to access it. DUMP access memory so it can not be used. Let me know if you can't find anything in F83 to do it and I will dig out my archive of it and work some up for you.
