Maybe we should get the major players (Macintosh, Windows, etc) to accept or
choose a standard FORTH interface.  GUIs are important, and will become more so
in the future.  It would be easier to get a standard established now, before
several conflicting "common usages" are around.  Perhaps this is one lesson
we've learned from the conflicts in developing ANSI FORTH?
