Re: SwiftX Popup Hex Stop

An incomplete workaround:

HOST
: WH BASE @ DECIMAL WH BASE ! ;
INTERPRETER
: WH WH ;

This doesn't always work because SwiftX WH clears the stack on something
like WH TIMER, where it says "Can't open file" (see below); a VARIABLE could
be used. Also, TARGET HEX WH still prints hex, probably a BASE issue. WH
might do something fancy (which I can't see) to use either TARGET or HOST
BASE , but the workaround only used HOST BASE .

It would be nice if WH didn't clear the stack. If I'm interacting with my
target with some data on the stack and WH a word on it and in SwiftForth,
I'll lose my place.

WH TIMER

Subject: [swiftx] SwiftX Popup Hex Stop

In SwiftX v3, I cross-reference TIMER (see below), right-click on 110| and
pick EDIT. It loads into my editor at line 110. However, if the base is
hexadecimal, WH displays line numbers in hex and right-click on 6E| EDIT no
longer loads it into the editor; apparently the hex line number was passed
on the command line but since it expects decimal does not know how to
interpret it. Another related issue will occur if the hex number happens to
be composed entirely of decimal digits; the editor will load the file but go
to the wrong line number. Would'nt it be nice if WH ignored BASE or the
EDIT on the pop-up menu translated to decimal? Unfortunately SwiftX can't
open the file containing WH so I can modify it.
