Since you are new to the list please note that I am just another list
member such as yourself. I am not an employee or representative of
Forth Inc.

I thought that since there has been no response (have I missed
something?) I'd at least post to bring it to the top of the pile again.

As far as questions coming up before, you might want to have a look at
the archive at http://www.forth.com/archive/swiftx

With regard to your actual question - did you try it? What happened?
This is one of the great things about Forth. It's interactive, and you
can easily try all sorts of things to see if they work.

This is the part of the scene where you say - "That was no help
whatsoever!"

I am new to this list and this question has probably come up on numerous
occasions but here goes...

I have made some definitions using methods> after a co-worker here told
me
about them.

The "how to define a word that uses methods" is very easily figured out
with
a quick look at the example definition for value. The problem however
is
that I am unable to discover how those fetch and store methods work - if
I
define a word "foo" with a fetch and a store method how do I actually
fetch
the value within foo and store a new value therein? - is foo
effectively a
value now? - do I just name foo to get its value and use 10 to foo to
change
it ?

Thanx in advance...
