2024-01-30 15:14:02 <KipIngram   > I think the ability of LOAD to nest is fairly standard.  I've never considered doing it with native OS files, so maybe that somehow necessitates a "load stack," but I think the normal handling is to save the currently loading block number and >in value on the return stack and then set BLK to the nested block number and >in to zero.  Then when control returns from the nested load restore BLK and >in from the

2024-01-30 15:14:44 <KipIngram   > So no explicit need for a new stack.

2024-01-30 15:18:30 <zelgomer    > no, not like any language with functions. because of the implicit parameter passing, you can imagine chaining scripts together like a pipeline

2024-01-30 15:21:51 <KipIngram   > Right - most languages don't have a DATA stack; that does make Forth unique.
