PostScript is a fully postfix Forth-like language with constructions similar to the one's you suggest. What's unForth-like about PostScript is that programs cannot address memory directly (as in Forth's @ and !). Nevertheless, the semantics of the language are almost as straight forward as with Forth. One still might ask for the best of both worlds. David Feldman Department of Mathematics Univesity of New Hampshire Durham, N.H. 03824 d_feldman@unhh.bitnet
