  1. Glossary
  2. Stack notation: "<stack before> -- <stack after>". Rightmost is
  3. top of stack (TOS). For example, in "a b -- c d", b is TOS
  4. before, d is TOS after. "R:" means that the Return Stack is
  5. modified. "I:" prefix means "IMMEDIATE", that is, that this
  6. stack transformation is made at compile time.
  7. Word references (wordref): When we say we have a "word
  8. reference", it's a pointer to a words *code link*. For example,
  9. the label "PLUS:" in this unit is a word reference. Why not
  10. refer to the beginning of the word struct? Because we actually
  11. seldom refer to the name and prev link, except during
  12. compilation, so defining "word reference" this way makes the
  13. code easier to understand.
