 Scott, I think Pygmy Forth (file #1939 on GEnie) might be usable for  that
purpose.  I used the same approach to put a version of it in ROM  for a Zilog
Super8 I breadboarded.  I presume you won't have DOS  available for its
services.  Pygmy is easily meta-compilable, with full  source code.  Search
thru the (block) file PYGMY.SCR for the word RAM  for an example of setting up
variables (that, of course, mustn't be in  ROM).  The I/O is vectored so it
should be a simple matter to define  your own versions of KEY, KEY?, and EMIT.
