He got kicked out himself because he deliberately asked for it, saying we had no spine if we wouldn't kick him out for all the damage, abuse, insults, and name-calling he did. We discussed that, and of course knew he would blame us (especially me) to have kicked him out, but since several people already had left the group, because they couldn't stand his diatribes, we decided to grant his wish, in agreement. We call that democracy; tyranny is when some lone psycho rules (and Hugh certainly is a psycho). The owner of the list then did the actual kicking. We didn't even know why he was on the list, because he long ago said he haited all of us and he had given up on the Forth 200x effort, and he wanted to do his own "standard" instead. However, he's a complete non-achiever, so he rather damages the achievements of others than doing something himself. He's quite good at damaging. Because he's obviously misprepresenting my argument, I repeat it here: Forth is a stack-based language. The way to pass and return parameters to a function is the stack. The way to pass and return parameters from a quotation therefore also is the stack. The downside of this is that the higher-order function has to move its own state either onto the return stack or into local variables. Example: We have TRAVERSE-WORDLIST as higher order function to traverse a wordlist. So you can define WORD-COUNT as follows: : word-count ( wid -- ) 0 [: ( n nt -- n+1 ) drop 1+ ;] rot traverse-wordlist ; This is the Forth way do to it: You dodge the accidential complexity induced by people who can't keep things simple. I know how to create nested functions (that's the actual terminology of what Hugh wants), they require creating a trampoline or similar structure. I know how to create closures, they require a trampoline-object on the heap (and probably garbage collection to get rid of those objects). This is all doable, but it needlessly increases complexity, because the right way to pass parameters and return them in Forth is *on the stack*. -- Bernd Paysan "If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself" http://bernd-paysan.de/
