Re: [colorforth] does>

[Mark Slicker <maslicke@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I looked up the meaning of these things in google. Here is 'create' 'does'
with an example of 'constant':

macro
: 1! [a!] $288 2, [drop] ; forth
: create [?dup] $b8 1, here 9 + 4 / , $eb 2,
: align4 here 3 ? if 1, align4 ; then drop ;
: does pop last @ @ 11 + dup 1 + negate u+ 1! ;
: constant create , does @ ;
: five [ 5 constant ]

Of course it is much simpler to do:

: five 5 ;

So colorForth might have made these words obsolete.
