I think PARSE is better for a memory constrained system and makes a natural factor of WORD, rather than the other way around (this was apparently discussed during the ANS process). The Launchpad is rather more severely constrained by RAM than code space, and the current 4e4th supposedly uses just 6k of the 16k of code space in the chip. The remaining 10k is enough space for quite a large program, probably larger than a typical educational user would write. So I think for educational purposes it may be better to supply more capabilities to make the learner's experience easier, even if it consumes a bit more of the code space, let's say up to 8k or even 10-12k. That allows adding major features like locals, an assembler, etc. By the time someone is advanced enough to fill the remaining space, they can probably rebuild the system themselves to make a minimal version if that's what they want. Or they could just move up to a board with a bigger processor. It would be nice if TI would put some of the fancier 432's into that DIP package so they would work in the Launchpad... > N= and S= are equivalent - therefore N= will be removed from > 4E4th to save memory space. Thanks! Why not get rid of both of them, and supply COMPARE, which is standard? Or implement S= using COMPARE, which is trivial. > Paul, you wrote "Here are a few:" - are there more?

There were a few things I remembered that turned out to be wrong-- I may have confusing 4e4th with one of the other small Forths that I've been looking at. > Critics and suggestions are always welcome! It's a really nice effort, thanks for your part in it.
