 JW>answered.  What was the name of the FORTH he was using to teach in his

 Reasonable Forths are available for the Apple series.  I'd
 suggest you contact one of the Apple user groups. You should be
 able to find some version of figForth or one of the more modern
 implementations.  I can't see putting much effort into a VIC-20
 implementation though I'm sure they exist somewhere.

 Of course, if you work in an MS/DOS environment, there are dozens
 of free Forths available.

 Starting Forth is an excellent book for learning this stuff, but
 you ultimately have to dig into the innards of your
 implementation.
