FORTH for the SHARP PC-E500 (S)

[Klaus Overhage]

Thank you Helix for BINTOTXT.EXE. From Forth500.bin it directly generates the 71k byte text file required for the MBSharpNotepad. And with your tip in the OPEN command to replace the parameter C with L, I can now use your original BASIC program except for this small change. The runtime has surprisingly remained at 18 minutes, it is probably given by MBSharpNotepad.

Next I tried to load the file debugger.fth from the folder "additions".

In RUN mode: COPY "COM:" TO "E:debugger.fth",A
In Forth500: INCLUDE debugger.fth
Loading debugger...
-- after 90 second --
Loading debugger... Exception #-13

Exception #-13 stands for "undefined word"

In Forth500: WORDS
The first word is "JUMP-CFA".

I think the definition of the next word "DO-OTHER" in debugger.fth maybe is incorrect.
