[comp.sys.amiga] ?'s re PD FORTH system on Amy

tomb@hplsla.HP.COM (Tom Bruhns) (02/22/90)

I've just started using the PD FORTH system that was done in late
1985 for the Amiga by Gene Tenney (think that's right).  I've figured
out how to open files for use as screens, and of course editing,
loading and flushing, and closing files.  But it's not obvious
to me how to select something other than the console window for
output.  How do I EMIT or . or things like that to my printer or to
a file?  I can probably figure this out from the source screens
included, but are there some simple phrases to do this?  (I've been
away from FORTH for a few years, and never was much byond novice
stage anyway, and now I'm trying to jump into a completely
different system...  ;-)

Thanks in advance for any help...

Well, I figured out the answer to my forth printing problem by
reading the source code.  So, problem solved.  And apologies to
Mr. Tenney:  it's Glenn, not Gene.
