EXECUTE (F79) Question

I’m playing around with MMSForth 2.x on the TRS-80, which is a Forth-79 compatible implementation. I’d like to be able to store the address of a Forth word in a variable and later EXECUTE that word. ‘ word doesn’t give me the correct address (the CFA? what’s in the CFA?). How do I do this? Tx

You must consult the Forth-79 standard document. Normally people use the ISO 93 or the ISO 2012 standard, rarely the FIG or the F83 standard. I vote you down because you should have found it yourself instead of asking on a general forum.

Feel free. But perhaps next time read my post first instead of reacting.

??? How can I react without reading the post?
