loading FORTH via HP-IL to 71B

[Stefan_Titan2944A]

So,

the FORTH code TEXT file is in a LIF volume on a mass storage.
It should already be an HP ASCII text, in LlF Type 1 format.
(Is it possible to write a non-HP ASCII TEXT file to a LIF volume,
without adding EXTFILES first?. Hm ...)

1.
RESTORE IO in BASIC

2.
" [text_file_name]:MASSMEM" LOADF in FORTH


N.B.
The file is not "loaded into the 71B Forth module", but
COMPILED into the CURRENT VOCABULARY of the FORTHRAM file.

CORRECTION:
The TEXT file is streamed as an input (like keyboard inputs) and parsed - WORD definitions ( : ; ) are COMPILED, all other stuff is executed as IMMEDIATE.
Given the way FORTH works (in general), even ( : ; ) is executed IMMEDIATE, with a COMPILED result. :-)
