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 a better response than this one.

definitely a convenience issue.
I don't know how libraries are handled on the pilot, in any case - I
suspect it's a C library wrapped up in a pdb file, like every other
piece of code (since the palm doesn't have a filesystem; it has
databases.) If pbForth can interface to something like that, all the better.
