   Browser

The browser user interface (7030 Byte)

The user interface is a browser, which presents the program as a structure of modules, groups and words. In Forth every program element is a "word".  -- Next

  • Modules correspond to traditional text files.
  • Groups collect words with common functions.
  • Our example program fits in one module. A real world application may use 15 or more modules, which are easily handled in Holon. 
  • The three level hierarchy clearly displays several thousand words.
  • Basis, Forth and 68HC11 are the system libraries of Holon 11.
  • Move through the browser with the cursor keys.
  • Enter the text window with <F2> or press the <Enter> key. 
  • The function keys depend on the currently active window.
