I agree that Forth is better than many other languages in many ways. What I was
saying was that it has a different look-and-feel and one needs to get used to
it first. Plus that it is not very easy to switch from for example C to Forth
and back all the time... ;-)

I look forward to see that done!
Just a thought: with SREC image and uploading, one need no longer use the
terminal but for testing and incremental changes. Then Ralph's "old" Tcl/Tk
interface might resurrect into a slightly new form, perhaps a RcxCC for Forth?!
