Adjusting the Win32Forth dictionary sizes.

To increase the amount of dictionary space
available for our application, follow these steps:

1. Quit Win32Forth before proceeding.

   Win32Forth must be terminated, so the modified
   dictionary version can be written to disk with
   the same name.

   You can leave this editor window open for
   reference if you have at least 8 megabytes of
   ram, though it may cause the following steps
   to take somewhat longer to complete.

2. Double click "Setup.exe".

   This will start the Win32Forth Setup

3. Choose "M" (Meta compile a new Kernel)

   This will begin the process of rebuilding the
   complete Win32Forth system with the adjusted
   dictionary sizes.

4. Type in the new dictionary sizes and click 'OK'.

   The dictionary sizes you enter into the " Win32Forth
   Meta Compiler" dialog, need to include the size
   of Win32Forth's base dictionaries. Add 200,000
   to the desired number of available dictionary
   bytes for both Application and System
   dictionaries.

When you have completed these operations, you
will have created a modified version of Win32Forth
with the new dictionary sizes.

5. Double click "Win32Forth" to run with the new
   dictionary sizes.

   You can type .FREE into the Win32Forth console
   window to see the new sizes of the dictionaries.
