Please help - getting an echo of commands

[NathanH13]

Hi,

I compiled pForth 2.0.1 for the AROS operating system yesterday (stdio, not Posix) and I'm getting echoing of my commands. For example "4 3 +" should give " ok" and a newline but instead gives a newline with "4 3 + ok". I searched the source and found a variable to turn on or off echo but it is set to zero already. Is there an easy fix to this situation? Thanks for the help. I am a C noob; probably pretty obvious :o)

Are the characters being echoed as you type? If you press the '4' key does it immediately display a '4'? It should.

If not then the output may be getting buffered.
See #87, which is kind of the opposite problem.

Try entering in the terminal, before running pForth: stty -echo

Hi, Maybe echo is the wrong terminology.  It accepts and displays input properly while I'm typing.  When I hit the enter key, however, it repeats the line again that I just typed suffixed with "ok".  On Unix and other forth systems, it doesn't redisplay the line you just typed; they just append ok to the same line where you hit the enter key.  Thanks.

Did you try the: stty -echo In terminal before running pforth? On Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 12:59 PM Nathan Hesterman ***@***.***> wrote:

Yes, I sent a screen shot a while ago showing that command being used prior yet still getting the echo. Here it is again. Thanks.
