Re: Can we send an INCLUDE command to a running instance of SwiftForth from an external editor?

\ Start two SwiftForth windows.
\ Extract this value from the SwiftForth window which is the target. Use
\ the phrase "CONSOLE-WINDOW +ORDER HTTY H." (ingoring quotes) to find
\ it. Then compile this code in another SwiftForth window and you'll be
\ able to send arbitrary commands to the first one.
\ You could automate this process using EnumWindows searching
\ for SwiftForth windows, then use EnumChildWindows to search
\ for the "TTY" window.

$350384 VALUE OTHER-HTTY

: PUTC ( char -- )
   OTHER-HTTY WM_CHAR ROT 0 SendMessage DROP ;

: PUTS ( zstring -- )
   BEGIN COUNT DUP WHILE PUTC REPEAT 2DROP 13 PUTC ;

Z" HERE 100 DUMP" PUTS
