Arbitrary long number of character (but can't be bigger than input buffer, of course). not null-terminated - 2b prev offset - 1b size + IMMEDIATE flag - 1b code pointer (always jumps in the <0x100 range) - Parameter field (PF) The prev offset is the number of bytes between the prev field and the previous word's code pointer.
