	F83S is Wil Baden &al upgrade to F83. It is syntactically
almost the same as F83. Functionally, it is greatly improved, including
the best screen file editor that was then ( 1986) available. It is
"cousin" to Wil's F83X for the Apple.

	F83S puts the headers in a separate segment, where they get
out of the way of the dictionary and allow themselves to be discarded
for turnkey applications.

	F83S is in my view the most sophisticated screen-file oriented
PD Forth system for the PC. Of course, it is stylistically dated, but
still very useful to me at work.

	F83S6.ARC can be downloaded from the RealTime Control and Forth
Board, number below.
