Hello all,

I missed this post the first time by so bear with
me. :) I'm just now starting to REALLY understand
ColorForth (working on a game demo now) so I 
guess I'm late are realizing this, but it seems
that @+ isn't part of (many) Pentium ColorForth
implementations?  It's on Chuck Moore's website:

http://www.colorforth.com/forth.html

But it's not listed in the (unofficial) ColorForth
glossary.

More importantly I needed it for my demo and I
noticed that it's not defined in either version
of ColorForth I'm using these days.  (ColorForth
for Windows and Terry Loveall's qemu implementation).

Is there an @+ definition I can grab somewhere?
And why is it missing?  (Or am I just missing
something?)  I'm not sure what the point of an
A register is with out @+ and !+.

Regards,

John M. Drake
