Re: [gforth] Gforth Digest, Vol 80, Issue 1

Hi,

I'm so used to type .S that I would keep it as the standard. Also, the 'new' .S 
might turn out to be useful. What about keeping the old one as standard and use 
another word for the new one? I'm sure you thought about this though. What 
about .S$  ?
