I found the "Going FORTH" tutorial to be an adequate introduction.  It
doesn't explain the more bizarre and esoteric features of FORTH, but I was
able to use them after a few hours of hacking around.  I plan to find a
reasonable reference book to learn about the REALLY strange parts, but that
was probably the original intention anyway.  Perhaps having an HP calculator
helps (FORTH is RPN-based).

As for the accidental renaming problem, the name IS selected; that's why
it's in reverse video.  All they have to do is make it so that selecting an
icon doesn't select the filename.
