Thanks. Could you describe what it does or could you inform where is the description of it? I would like now to rework this in a modern Forth but if address are HW specific (what I guess), I have to understand first what it does and what address its reading. Perhaps something like Dump?

And: any similar Forth (2012, 2022..) program to EXPECT96 is welcome, too (I have to create this word in a modern forth).

The original RAMEDIT was published in PPC Journal V12N4P45. As noted above, INADDR was originally a BASIC program called via BASICX from within RAMED's Forth code, but I re-wrote that in Forth.

This program is a RAM editor (for HEX editing bytes in memory) and is highly 71B-specific, assuming the 71B's RAM structure, limited 22-char display, etc. so unlikely to easily port to another platform.

EXPECT96 is a 71B Forth-unique word, based on the 71B's internal buffers, etc. however I believe EXPECT is a standard word found in most Forth implementations.
