Re: SWOOP Question

Rick,

Thanks for the reponse.

You're too humble.

Actually, I can get the CREATE DOES> part to work but it's ugly:

    COMMON : add CREATE , DOES> ... COMMON ;

Actually works, or seems to.

But no way can I redefine :. Looking at the source it seems to me
that using common ought to work also, but something goes wrong.

Is POSTPONE allowed within a CLASS? Or to put it differently I want
compile a word that runs the compile time code of a member.
