FORTH for the HP 50G

RE: FORTH for the HP 50G
Thanks - such a simple test too that I didn't try :-).

The default cell size is 16 bits and signed so this calculation is on these limits (note 16383 2 * . works). I'm not sure how FORTH typically handles this but it may not be consistent with all implementations. I will have a look into it though.

I have noticed that many FORTH implementations don't have a standard way of listing words and this implementation doesn't include one either.

What is the defacto standard for this? I've also noticed some list new words and some list all.

I will look at adding this pending some research and further feedback.

The implementation is based on lbForth.

Thanks for your feedback.

Which Forth source are you using?
How to view a list of defined words? I've tried WORDS and VLIST, without success.
I found a bug: 16384 2 * . gives --.)*(
