That's already taken care of with compiletoram and compiletoflash.

It would be nice if the address calculation were done in the array word. 
  Here is what I can get to work using a defining word.  I thought it 
would be more complicated, but this isn't so bad.  Still, it just seems 
like I should be able to do everything in the constant array definition 
rather than using a defining word.

compiletoram

: charconstarray <builds does> + c@ ;

charconstarray arraytest
   $1E c, $08 c, $1D c, $19 c, $0B c, $13 c, $17 c, $18 c, $1F c, $1B c,

There is no bounds checking, but this is fine for now.  Some time back 
someone gave me some pointers on constructing arrays, but everything I 
did with that was more complex than I need now and uses create which I 
don't think I can use in Mecrisp.

In the above code, is <builds necessary?  Could it be omitted or does it 
muck with the state or something that is needed with does> ?
