PocketForth Main Window

[dietmar]

The Main Window (where I can enter the Forth commands) of PocketForth
is tiny, fixed sized and uses a small Font. Is it possible to increase
the dimension of the Window and change the Font? My efforts with
ResEdit were unsuccessful.

It's been a while since i looked at the PocketForth source (are you
time-traveling?), but let me try..

Some of the things such as font dimensions may be changed by
programmatically setting values in the "Mac Data" region, others will
require more (coding-) labor.

IIRC, there also used to be an example employing a TextEdit field
somewhere (or was that for MOPS?).

Anyway i changed so much in my local version that i would have to
re-read the original 68K source code to recall the details, and this
always makes me feel so melancholic ;-(

cheers,
