	Ain't it the truth? Just about every Forth programmer in the
world is virtually self-taught. Or Forth-taught, since Forth is willing
to explain and reveal its internals to the programmer.

	On the other hand, if you want to learn C or understand what
is going on in the internals of your compiler, Report To The Authorities
Immediately With Checkbook In Hand! :-)
