 This is my first post so please bear with me if I make any mistakes...
  
 I'm presently working on a project which has introduced me to Forth.
 I got the idea from the instructions with an DA converter I'm trying to 
 use that Forth was the best language to use with ports.  Also a 
 disk was enclosed with Lexicon demo programs (Lexicon is based on 
 Forth-83 by the documentation).  This disk could do straight voltages
 or ramped voltages, and also has a Wave function!             
  
 But I need a to simulate a sine wave generator out of this port,
 and Lexicon doesn't produce sine waves... I've tried interlibrary loan
 for some Forth books; but so far I haven't found any that go in depth
 on port usage.                         

 If someone could advise me on a good book to use or perhaps an FTP 
 site to look at I would truely appreciate it!!!
 
 I am presently using F-PC version 3.5, and I have reproduce some of 
 Lexicon's commands but not all of them...  If anyone knows how I could
 get hold of the Forth definitions of these commands that would be a
 great help also!
  
                     In a desperate search for wisdom,
                                                       Bard
