Well, you seem to be doing better than I am. All I can get is the HHC
to display "SnapFORTH" when I select it from the menu. No prompt for
filename and all I can do at that point is press "clear" to get back
to the main menu. It looks like I may have inserted the ROMs in the
wrong order when I put them back into the external carrier after
downloading the contents to send to you. Ugh! I thought I had been
careful about that too!

I'm trying to get some SnapForth ROMs running for the Panasonic HHC

ummm... "squat" about Forth. ;^>
I've gotten the ROMs to be able to start SnapForth, ask for a
filename, create the filename & filespace (about 1K of RAM goes
"buh-bye" for every filename I make... ;-) but no matter what I
type, all I get is "Can't Find xxxxx" where xxxxx seems to be any
durned thing I type.
It can't seem to make new words, and every simple "Hello World"
type proggie I've found on the net makes *no* sense to the 'puter.
It looks like it has a max. of 4-character words... duh,
waitaminit... lemme check the ROMs again... *maybe* 5-character
words, as it looks like the last character of the word is OR'ed
with $80... It looks like it's got quite a few words, looking at
the ROMs in ASCII - I found VARIA, CONST, STRIN, CVECT, JUMP....
I could provide a clip of the ROM word table if it would help...
I've tried:
100 LLL !
[[ To try to store the variable 100 in LLL ]]
100 VAR DORK
100 VARI DORK
100 VARIA DORK
100 VARIABLE DORK
[[ To try to store the variable 100 in DORK ]]
100 CONS BURP
100 CONST BURP
[[ To try to make BURP a constant of 100 ]]
I've also tried:
.S
DROP
." Hello World"
and other things I'd seen in various webpages thanks to Google.
Anyone got any other idears for me?
Thanks,
