I just committed patches to make "include" work with source code. Previously, it only processed builtins, greatly diminishing both ficl and include's usefulness. As a result of this change, the special behavior of the chacters @, # and - at the beginning of script lines is lost. They have been replaced as follow: @ Lines will *not* be echoed anymore by default. Thus, lines with "@" can simply remove it. If one wants to echo a line, use the character "$", with a space after it. # Use "\" followed by a space. - Use "%" followed by a space. Examples: \ This is a comment load dont.echo $ load echo % load ignore.errors Since the new "characters" are forth words, they can be used anywhere in the line. So you can add comments *after* the command, for example. They can also be used together: % $ load /kernel.experimental I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause, but the previous way is highly incompatible with forth. -- Daniel C.
