Inserts the ASCII character following it into the PNO buffer.

: .$ ( ud:value – ) <# # # INS: . BEGIN 2DUP .1000 D> WHILE # # # INS: , REPEAT #S INS: $ #> TYPE ;

The word INS: (short for “insert”) is not a standard double-precision word, it was added by this author as a convenience to make code both shorter and easier to read. INS: behaves the same as HOLD – it inserts an ASCII character into the PNO buffer; however, it removes the need for the words ASCII or CHAR, thus making the code easier to read.
