Re: Console application...

Hello,

I'm using ACCEPT, KEY and EMIT to display text.
We can imagine my program like a C program
with printf and, eventually, scanf. My need is
to launch the program from the prompt of
the command line and to display text on the console.

Example:

C:\dev\forth\chess> chess.exe
GO
e2e4
MOVE e7e5
d2d4

and so on.

Thanks,
Alberto Santini
