2024-09-29 02:36:31 <zelgomer    > yeah, so it just automates the constants part
2024-09-29 03:07:31 <KipIngram   > I'm not used to seeing IMMEDIATE inside a definition like that.  What exactly is it doing?
2024-09-29 03:08:14 <amby        > making it immediate
2024-09-29 03:08:21 <xentrac     > some Forths make immediate immediate
2024-09-29 03:08:29 <KipIngram   > Yeah, ok.  Makes sense.
2024-09-29 03:08:33 <xentrac     > so you can put it inside the definition instead of after it
2024-09-29 03:08:37 <KipIngram   > Right.
2024-09-29 03:08:43 <amby        > : FOO IMMEDIATE ; is the same as : FOO ; IMMEDIATE
2024-09-29 03:08:43 <xentrac     > in standardized Forth it isn't immediate
