Mel, if the Portfolio is the least bit MS-DOS compatable, then most of the MS-
DOS Forths that can be found in our libraries should work. Typically, they
only use standard DOS calls and run in very limited memory spaces.  At the
very least, only minimal customizations may be required.  I'd suggest trying
F83, Pigmy, ZEN Forth, or F83X, but F-PC would most likely be too large.  Does
the Portfolio have ROM cards?  It might be interesting to have Forth in ROM,
but you will need to know quite a bit about Forth to be able to do it.  I
agree with you, however, that Forth on those pocket computers would be just
about ideal.
