Subject: Implement INTERPRET-STRING
X-Git-Url: https://git.rrq.au/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=11d153e11d9f291d592cfbe5363aea911f0bb46f;p=rrq%2Fjonasforth.git

Implement INTERPRET-STRING

INTERPRET-STRING works, but the program crashes on startup, because sys.f uses
words that assume that they are being run with user input, for example S" and
READ-WORD.
