Re: [colorforth] use of ...

["Robert Patten" <pattenre@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We should use color insted of puntuation  ( "..." )
Orange word  exits last definition  creates entery . like  Orange baricads
across the road.
Red word  does not exit   last definition creates entery.
Making  "..." not needed.
 Keep ";" for when the next structure does not start with a red or orange
word ;


"if else "   pair   "else" exits true definition   start false definition.
" if then"   pair   resume defination.
" if  else then "   is an error  not  cought.
" if  if then else"  ????   needs factoring
" if if  else then" ???
" if  else  if  else if else " ????  How meny exits?
" if  then  if then if else "
" if then if the if then ; "
" if ; then if ; then ; " this is a stop or resume structure
