Standard Forth doesn't say       either way. At worst not changing BASE only affects display of       line numbers (serving as a reminder of what BASE you're in!)              More often than not I'm using L (aka SCR @ LIST) to see where       the error was, or EDIT without a parameter for the same reason.       Similarly 1 LOAD (what I do 99% of the time) always works.       I've often thought of defining GO to do just that.              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
