I am fairly new to Forth; I use it in controlling experiments with a
Cellular Automata Machine developed at MIT.
  I like the language so far;  it has a certain natural feel to it and the
way it is constructed.  But what I am wondering is this:  what kinds of
things do you write in Forth?  I can't really think of anything that I would
like to write in Forth as opposed to another language.  Also, if I were 
going to write something, I don't know if I'd really know how to do it in
Forth -- the version I am using only requires knowledge of a very limited
vocabulary to control the experiments I am doing.
  I guess what I am saying is, I'd like to see some simple but complete
programs, that do whatever, written in Forth.
