 Oh, certainly you'll be able to understand it.  Given one or two basic 
 concepts _that really are considerably different from most other 
 languages_ forth's pretty easy to figure out.  Incidentally, I got 
 bollixed up with line noise in trying to reply to a msg of yours in 
 anotheer conference, where you asked about the syntax of

    VARIABLE IFORGOTWHATYOUCALLEDIT  ;

 You don't need that trailing semicolon-- at least not with any "regular"
 forth.  Semicolon's a forth word, used to end colon definitions.
