-
- After typing F in the root directory to execute F.BAT or F in the C:\FPC
- directory to execute F.EXE you should see the F-PC welcome screen that
- will look something like what is shown below but you should have some
- color and some line boxes and spaces between the lines!
-
- C:\> F <enter> <---- at the DOS prompt
-
-
- C - 35k : - 50k Stack Empty C:\FPC\ 11:36

- Bewildered? Press: F1 for assistance
-
- Press ESC to toggle the menubar on or off.
-
- Current File = No file Open
-
- Pressing <enter> should produce the traditional Forth prompt:
-
- ok <----- traditional Forth style prompt!
-
- Press <enter> a few times and you should get Forth's traditional
-
- ok
-
- Well now we are in the system so let us exit the system or say
- good bye to Forth. The command to leave forth is just BYE Type:
-
- BYE <enter> <--- Remember <enter> means press it.
-
- BYE Leaving.. <--- This is what you will see!
- C:\FPC>CD \ <--- Dos prompt and last command in F.BAT
- C:\> <--- and finally you will see the dos prompt.
-
- DOS TIP If you place the following line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
- your dos prompt will include the current directory path as
- shown above.
-
- PROMPT $P$G
-
- To restart Forth type F again. Do this now and press return once in
- Forth to get the ok prompt again. Bye the way we are working with the
- Caps lock set on my computer so that we get capital letters when we type
- words for Forth to interpret. F-PC will also accept lower case but we
- prefer upper case here to make the Forth commands/words stand out from
- the rest of the text.
