Hello,

I have a version of Mr.Loelger's TIL up and running in a small robot-like
device :-)  To further enhance this system I need the answers to a few
questions.

1.	I would like to define a word to be associated with each of
	several interrupts that will lookup a word to execute, as in...

	: interrupt1 ....lookup user_int_1...execute... ;

	...that would default to some simple (return from interrupt)
	type of function if "user_int_1" is not found.  What would be
	your best implimentation?  A seperate vocabulary for all of the
	"user_int_*" routines is a definite possibility.

2.	I find I have a need for several string handling functions, but
	TIL has none "pre-defined".  Does anybody have a string package
	that they would like to put in the public domain?

Please send replys directly to me.  I will summarize if the response warrents.
Thanks in advance.
