Ralph.

I'm sorry. I give up.  I loaded the .srec into my brick.
I D/L ed your Tkl GUI
i TRIED to follow along on your page.

But I could not even manage to enter TEXT into your Tkl GUI.

after a few days of not being able to turn the Brick off ( i guess your

Im sorry Ralph.  To use Forth, first I will need to grasp the basics.
and Im just not up to that this long weekended.

Im shelving this for a bit.  I will come back to it though.
