 Most forths for the PC these days (and that means surely in the last 
 five or six years) include full support for the operating system, files,
 etc.  There are several public domain forths you can try that will offer
 these qualities, including F83, F-PC (for a really big, complete 
 system), and Pygmy.  None of these act as their own operating system; 
 all use DOS.

 Excellent commercial systems that offer full support for DOS, files, 
 etc., include LMI's PC-Forth and HS/Forth from Harvard Softworks.

 If your file transfer via the network doesn't work out (and I am correct
 in believing you are calling from Frederick MD) you can dial into the 
 East Coast Forth BBS at (703) 442-8695 and download files direct.
