 Jack, I d/l all the diaryx.zips, tried to read thru the documentation
 then decided it would be quicker to print them out and read at my
 letter. An inch thick of paper later, I decided to stop half way then
 read thru. I had all the documentation for F83. That could be useful.
 The rest was dry reading about standards that I dont need just yet. I
 see lots of evidence that F83 is a good standard to use to learn Forth.
 But MVPforth is recommended for starting with forth 79. Then, I have
 Abundance and FPC and should I d/l FPC 3.5. What to do! What to do!
 What to do!. Have you discontinued the tutorial or am I missing
 something after lesson 5???
