RE: FORTH for the SHARP PC-E500 (S)
Hello, good evening. Could you please help me? I’m trying to install Forth on a Sharp PC-E650, but I don’t understand what’s going on. I think the guide is outdated.

Here’s what I’m doing:
MEM$="B"
POKE &BFE03,&1A,&FD,&0B,0,&FC,0: CALL &FFFD8
OPEN "9600,N,8,1,A,L,&H1A,N,N": CLOSE
LOAD "COM:"
Transfer UUDECODE.BAS

Now I need to create an E: drive. I’ve set it to 20K:
INIT "E:20K"
RUN

The guide then says:
UUENCODE SELF-DECODER
DATA_FILE = 'UUDECODE.MMM'
OK? (Y / N) = Y <return>
success

But for me, it shows:
UUENCODE SELF-DECODER
DATA_FILE = 'UUDECODE.BIN'
OK? (Y / N) = Y <return>
success

I imagine this is fine since there is a UUDECODE.BIN file in E: that is 1446 bytes.

The guide says:
“Transfer the FORTH500.UUE file to the PC-E500(S) via the serial interface.”
I type:
LOAD "COM:"
But when I try to transfer the file, it says:
Undefined line.

And that’s as far as I’ve gotten. I don’t know what to do.
Can you help me?
Thank you.
