I liked your 1.2 Pygmy a lot, it's simple enough to grasp pretty easily.  I
was glad to see the 1.3 version, which duplicated many of the changes I made
and more besides.  The method for opening files seems unnecessarily tedious,
but it's easy to open a file once and then save the system with the file open,
so it doesn't have to be done all that often.  I probably won't do anything
about it.
  I've found a really minor bug --  you didn't change Robert Berkey's DO LOOP
code to match your new FOR NEXT, so : TEST 10 0 DO I . LOOP ; will print out:

TEST 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ok

This is easy to fix. : (DO) ( limit index - for-index  ;R  ip - index-offset
ip )
 ( OVER 1- POP SWAP PUSH PUSH  -  1-  ; )
   OVER 1- POP SWAP PUSH PUSH  -  ; : >R COMPILE PUSH ;     : R> COMPILE POP ;

I've had a lot of fun with Pygmy.  Thanks for making it!
