 I am still a novice to Forth and I am not a programmer by trade. I keep
 see-sawing back and forth between FPC and Abundance. Both have
 advantages. The favouritism seems to be towards FPC but I am drawn back
 to Abundance because of its blocks and the sophisticated Ned editor.
 Maybe as a novice I can see things clearer by sticking to blocks. I
 dont want to open up the war again between seq and block files because
 I see advantages in both. The biggest problem I had in Abundance was
 its ABORT function. Roede suggested I tailor make it to my ABORT but I
 havent had success with it yet. These are just comments from someone
 else who has looked at Abundance. Rgds.
