The option there is to redefine / using FM/REM or SM/REM which
are the ans provided primitives. Unfortunately, they are not
very optimized in SwiftForth.

Subject: SMATRIX

Rick,

I'd like to use the equivalent of SMATRIX in a colon definition rather
than having the matrix built through screen loading (sorry, I'm still
using blocks and BLKEDIT). Is there an easy way to do this or do I just
have to revise the coding shown in FPMATH?

Thanks,

Carl
