That is not my code. Also, CELL is not ANS-Forth anyway. You're making things up again, and not testing the code that you post.

These make the code much more readable, as compared to a series of POSTPONE xxx --- important for somebody who writes a lot of meta-compilation words.

Also, these can be given to POSTPONE, where as POSTPONE xxx can't be given directly to POSTPONE, so these allow for meta-compilation of meta-compilation words. An example is FIELD --- one of the most important words in the novice package.

I don't like these either. In my own language, all of these will get generated automatically by the compiler --- it will not be necessary to hand-write them, which is rather tedious. But, this is ANS-Forth --- the whole novice package is a collection of work-arounds for ANS-Forth problems, and this is one of them.

This is not my code --- you're making things up again.

You have spent maybe 5 minutes studying the novice package, and you only did that so you could attack it. You make up quite a lot (generally known as "lying"), which is what I was referring to previously when I said that truth is not an issue for a troll --- your whole purpose is to poison the minds of people like Hank with the idea that my novice package is full of bugs.
