I've just started learning FORTH this year and could be wrong, but it seems like using S" TYPE gives more flexibility than ." and so I'm trying to get into the habit of "always" using it for strings. For example:
: test S" Hello World!"
;
test 2DUP TYPE TYPE
btw, In my top post, I neglected to thank @Willsy and @Lee Stewart for their fantastic FORTH products and, more importantly, taking the time to document and teach those that follow.
