Thank you - now I see that the defer word "emit" is not set to execute the C function emit, which is what was confusing me.
Here's a proof-of-concept v3 patch which bounces off the forth trampoline in order to perform console output which seems to work for me on SPARC64 with VNC - please can you check it works for you?
Note this patch isn't ready to be applied yet, since I haven't had enough time to implement a patch to ensure that there is no speed penalty when debug mode is disabled.
Many thanks,
Mark.
