I'm new to Forth, but I really like it.

I'm using a public domain version of MVP-Forth on my
Commodore Amiga.

I have Leo Brodie's fine book, but it doesn't say much about
MVP-Forth.

I can't figure out disk access.  12 list doesn't work like I understand
it should.  The dictionary contains words like open, files, setfile,
filesize, filename, closeall, select, and stuff like that.

Could anyone tell me how to use these?

By the way, I really do know * something * about computers in general.
Forth itself is just new ground for me and my public domain version cam
with NO documentation.

Thanks!
