If you type "ALL WORDS DIR" you can see the following:

-----[436B] FORTH ---------------------------------------------
DIRSTACK DIR DIRECTDLL/PASCAL SetCurrentDirectory
GetCurrentDirectory

But I don't know the stack usage... not found in any help file nor =
sample source file... Its a big problem for a lot of native words...

I try this

>Z" \temp" setcurrentdirectory .
>cd

>pad getcurrentdirectory dup .
>pad swap type

Thus, probably:

        SetCurrentDirectory ( pszDirPath -- flag )
                where
                -pszDirPath : a null terminated string
                -flag : TRUE when all OK

        GetCurrentDirectory ( addr -- nszStrLen )
                where
                -addr : buffer to hold a z-terminated string
                -nszStrLen : the sz-string lenght.

sorry - nothing about CreateDirectory
        - nothing about increase

Which words have I to use to create, delete or change an directory?

I want to increase memory. I supposed i have to do that with the
word 'INCREASE", but swisforth doesn't know it, however you described =
=3D
it in
the manual. Do I something wrong?

with kind regards,
