I am familiar with both MacForth and Mach2 for the Mac; both have their
strong points (MacForth has an excellent editor and object-oriented extension
package, etc whereas Mach2 is subroutine-threaded and provides an easy
interace to call any ROM functions, etc). Both support file editing and can
be used to develop 'real' applications just like 'real' languages--only 
perhaps taking less time.. :-)  See MacTutor for monthly Forth column to see
some of the things one can do...
