16:27:00 ##forth <vms14> i'm trying to make a simple word to list files
16:27:03 ##forth <vms14> https://termbin.com/4ldp
16:28:11 ##forth <vms14> i assume i can trust pad-minsize and that it will always be a correct value for the pad size, it returns 132 or alike
16:29:27 ##forth <vms14> it's an init file i have alias f='gforth /home/vms/init.fs' didn't see a init file or env var i could set for a default
16:29:58 ##forth <vms14> wonder if i can extend it so it becomes better as a scripting language
18:51:43 ##forth <KipIngram> "r" is to clear the stack?
18:51:58 ##forth <KipIngram> If you're using gforth you can do that with sp0 @ sp!
18:54:12 ##forth <KipIngram> 1 2 3 4 5 ok
18:54:15 ##forth <KipIngram> depth . 5 ok
18:54:17 ##forth <KipIngram> sp0 @ sp! ok
18:54:19 ##forth <KipIngram> depth . 0 ok
18:54:21 ##forth <KipIngram> u
18:54:23 ##forth <KipIngram> Whoops - sorry about the u.
18:54:46 ##forth <deadmarshal> or clearstack
18:55:14 ##forth <KipIngram> Even better - I'm no surprised gforth has it as a word - it has practically everything.
19:03:57 ##forth <ajhidd> "it has practically everything" - very Forth-like (:
22:14:19 ##forth <tpnix> Mecrisp-Stellaris Forth has everything a embedded designer woulkd need except the C equivalent of headers and Im finishing a design which does that without touching the Forth itself
22:14:57 ##forth <tpnix> but as Mecrisp-Stellaris has a 20kb limit for the kernel and everything, it's 'full' anyway
