[ColorForth] About ";;"

["Dirk Heise" <dheise@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I changed the subject - sorry, i'm always sluggish, just
producing posts by replying to a different thread and forgetting
to change the subject. Dumb me.

So it's not a Chuck Moore invention after all? 
Ok. So, what do you think of my (mis)interpretation of
";;" as a compiler word that always jumps back to
the last defined word entry? 

Maybe i invented something useful just by misunderstanding
other peoples ideas. ;-) I tend to leave it like that -
of course, OCF is not really Color Forth, so i don't urge
the Color Forth people to pick that up. At least, i like
it a lot. I'm using tail recursion all over the place.
