# Using The Glossary
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Glossary is a valuable resource. It provides information
|
|
|
|
|
on the RETRO words.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

## Reading The Entry
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An entry starts with the word name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is followed by the stack effect for each stack. All RETRO
|
|
|
|
|
systems have Data and Address stacks, some also include a
|
|
|
|
|
floating point stack).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The stack effect diagrams are followed by a short description
|
|
|
|
|
of the word.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the description is a line providing some useful data. This
|
|
|
|
|
includes the class handler, namespace prefix, and the interface
|
|
|
|
|
layer that provides the word.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Words in all systems will be listed as `all`. Some words (like
|
|
|
|
|
the `pb:` words) are only on specific systems like iOS. These
|
|
|
|
|
can be identified by looking at the interface layer field.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the end of the entry may be an example or two.
