overriding length of source buffer

I'm in the process of coding a text parser and everything is working as
planned. I'm using all the Forth parsing routines to parse tokens, etc. I=
'm
now at the stage of stripping comments from each source line, and I can't=
 seem
to do this the way I want.

I'd like to override the length of the SOURCE text so that WORD and PARSE=
 will
not go past it. All comments are single line and begin with ; . Using PAR=
SE I
can get the occurance of the first ; but I can't seem to write that lengt=
h
back into the #TIB buffer.

Any ideas on how I can to this? Thanks.

Jeff
