Re: new to customizing forth....

thanks jeff, it worked, except when the values list is split into different
lines.... would it have to do with the way the PARSE parses until it finds
spaces(BL)? can it be programmed to reckognize carriage returns as
delimeters too?

on the side i tried to make another word like it called VARIABLES:

: variables: ( -- )
   begin bl parse
       2dup s" }" compare while
       variable
   repeat 2drop ;

it doesn't really work, gives me "Attempt to use zero-length string as a
name"
