      The file #1433 GEMDOS.ARC appears to be part of what I've been looking
for. The screens are well designed and commented in the shadows. Since I've
been studying GEM programming thru the Abacus books, I am happy to find this
file.  I can't say how well it works yet, because I don't have a Kernel I can
confidently load on to, or metacompile it into ( If I understood
metacompilation well enough to do that ) So it's gona hafta wait until I am
ready for it.
      Since it appears to me that there is nothing left in the library that
could be a F-83 L&P P.D. Forth ( unless #108 LP4th.ARC Morison is a improved
version of #1153, as it is a earlyer number that would suprise me )   I am
getting close to the conclusion that ---
   There is no F-83 L&P P.D. Forth for the Atari ST that a beginner can use in
context with the instructional materials avaliable from FIG.

      Wilson  I second the motion that Brad has made.  For myself the 16 bit
version which I assume is smallest first please.  If you haven't got the
documentation together yet, perhaps the questions we ask here will make that
process more interesting. I understand that Brad is a Hot Shot programmer and
I am a Duffer so between the two of us we should cover the gamut.
      Brad  A big project on the ST sounds interesting I suppose it's has to
be secret if it has commercial potential.  I goofed and got some stuff about
uploaded files where I saw that you work with  Expert Systems.  After I get
this groundwork behind me I want to look in to that.  - Later - jon -
