Here is an example of creating and using a new wordlist using Standard Forth words:
wordlist constant my-new-words-wordlist : my-new-words get-order nip my-new-words-wordlist swap set-order ; \ add it to the search order also my-new-words \ alternatively, add it to the search order and make it \ the compilation word list also my-new-words definitions \ type "order" to see the problem
The problem with this example is that order has no way to
associate the name my-new-words with the wid of the word list (in
Gforth, order and vocs will display ??? for a wid
that has no associated name). There is no Standard way of associating a
name with a wid.
In Gforth, this example can be re-coded using vocabulary, which
associates a name with a wid:
vocabulary my-new-words \ add it to the search order also my-new-words \ alternatively, add it to the search order and make it \ the compilation word list my-new-words definitions \ type "order" to see that the problem is solved
