 Greetings:
 In Leo Brodie's Starting Forth, the author describes a "multiprogrammer"
 and shows a memory map for the same. The one listed showed several
 different user areas, some supporting terminal processes. LMI's
 documentation does not explicitly show other terminal processes in its
 PCF multitasker memory map, although it appears that such could be
 crafted. Has anyone ever done this with PC/UR Forth? Is it implicitly
 supported? How would someone do such a thing? Would it be possible to
 have another terminal hooked up to a serial port and thus have a
 multi-user interface on one machine running PC Forth?
 I'd be interested in any informed feedback on this, Thanks.
