Hi group, I'm back to Forth for a ham radio application using
Win32Forth and lovin' it.

I'm building a radio direction finder with a PIC processor. I need
the following for testing and later for a Forth-PIC target compiler.
I need to un-nest from a colon definition returning two levels up the
calling sequence in this form:

: ACTION-ITEM 101 DOUBLE-UNNEST ." This doesn't execute" ;

: CALLING-ROUNTINE 1 ACTION-ITEM .” don’t return here” ;

: OUTER-ROUTINE CALLING-ROUTINE .” return here with 101 and 1” ;

Any suggestions?

Best regards,

Group,

Good Ole Forth. I answered my own question. R>DROP is sufficient to
un-nest two levels up.

: ACTION-ITEM 101 R>DROP ;
: CALLING-ROUTINE 1 ACTION-ITEM .” don’t return here” DROP DROP ;
: OUTER-ROUTINE CALLING-ROUTINE .” return here with 101 and 1” ;

Does work fine.

Hey, even though you solved your own problem it's great to know you're

on to you. Naah, just kidding... :-)
