This sounds very cool!  I have the demo of an older O.R., but I don't use
it that much.  I don't watch a lot of TV.  I would buy a copy if I thought

alternatives" thread.  For me, it's more of a convenience thing.  Wouldn't
it be nice to play around with a handheld, rather than be tied to the
desktop PC.  I'm not likely to try and put the Palm into a robot and send
it about the room, then again if I could.....

(...) I don't know if it can, or not. I can ask him, but since he doesn't use pbForth, either, I couldn't tell you if he'll have an answer or not. If you have any documents on extensibility of pbForth, then send them to me, and I'll try to give you (...) (24 years ago, 7-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)
