Frank;

In my continued digging, I think I found a transgression against what
 _should_ be a cardinal rule, Never change the stack behavior of a
 defered word.  I kept getting file errors when trying to use SHOW.
 I discovered that .HD had been reloaded with a word for use with
 SHADOW, but it used the _second_ entry on the stack.  Shame on you!

It would also be helpful to note that use of MAKE should be followed with
MORE.  MAKE leaves an empty file (obviously) and the EDITOR doesn't like that.

Another suggestion would be the use of a word from the POLY4TH world,
 : +LOAD  ( n-) BLK @ + LOAD ;
 This would allow source load screens to be location independent.

Again, thanks for a slick implimentation.

                                             - L. Greg Lisle -
