 RD>I guess our advertising hasn't been very effective.

 Please don't go by my lack of information--I'm just a lone
 programmer operating in isolation, and (let's face it) Forth
 isn't the most popular language in the world. When someone
 is interested in Pascal, you can always find loads of people
 to demonstrate their favorite version and help you over the
 rough spots. (You can't swing a dead PROCEDURE without
 hitting a Turbo Pascal programmer.) But when you mention
 that you're interested in Forth, people just give you a
 glazed-over smile and ask for the bean dip.
