a cell in MacForth is 32 bits
use w@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
and w! for 16 bit storage and retrieval as in your case above.
221 Myarray w!
230 MyArray 2 + w!
use ! and @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
for 32 bit stuff
221 Myarray !
230 MyArray 4 + !
(just in case: use c@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
and c! for 8 bit, sorry characters)
