2021-10-15 10:23:59 <eris[m]     > yes
2021-10-15 10:24:07 <eris[m]     > there's one in three lines
2021-10-15 10:25:03 <eris[m]     > : INTERNAL ( --> ADDR) CURRENT @ @ ;
2021-10-15 10:25:04 <eris[m]     > : EXTERNAL ( --> ADDR) HERE ;
2021-10-15 10:25:09 <eris[m]     > for FIG
2021-10-15 10:25:18 <eris[m]     > i never figured out what pfa and lfa were
2021-10-15 10:25:40 <f-a         > haha I was going to ask
2021-10-15 10:26:09 <eris[m]     > but what it does is patch the link of the last defined word to the last first external word
2021-10-15 10:26:23 <eris[m]     > so like
2021-10-15 10:26:32 <eris[m]     > the last word defined before internal
2021-10-15 10:26:47 <eris[m]     > the first word defined after external
2021-10-15 10:27:33 <eris[m]     > if you know the dict structure of ur forth
2021-10-15 10:27:38 <eris[m]     > u can figure it out
2021-10-15 10:38:45 <crc         > pfa is parameter field address, lfa is link field address
2021-10-15 22:56:59 <dukester    > Want to try *again* to learn Forth. Who can teach me? It seems to me a bit like functional programming -chaining functions/words together.
