I'm afraid that since I'm no novice at Forth, I didn't read your tutorial, but I was still happy to see it there. I like the idea of having some posts that present a basic introduction to Forth, to help novices and curiousity seekers find out what Forth is about. Especially in something like the MetroNet, where conferences are available on a wide variety of topics, this sort of thing can be very useful. I would like to comment that the MetroNet board I call has absolutely no Forth-related files, except a copy of F83 (v2.18) which I uploaded. F-PC is not available here; is this a shareware or PD product? (Yeah, I know, I should have read the tutorial, it probably would have told me. I download messages, and already deleted it to save disk space. Sorry.)
