Re: Command see has an anormal behavior

As Bob notes, SEE is inappropriate with variables, because its purpose is=20
to display the executable code associated with a definition. It sort-of=20
works with a variable compiled from a file: it displays the correct code,=20
something like 4021BF ( (CREATE) ) CALL, but then continues on=20
inappropriately because it's looking for a suitable "definition" ending=20
which isn't there (only the one instruction). On variables defined on the=
=20
command line it is definitely misbehaving, which we'll try to fix at some=20
point.

See the SwiftForth Reference Manual Section 2.4.5.3 regarding the use of=20
WATCH, or just use:

<variable-name> ?

to display its current value. Or tell us more about what you were trying=20
to do...

Cheers,
Elizabeth
