won't exactly fit into the HC11 address space :-)  Really, if you want a
"real" langage for the handyboard, then use IC or something like Forth
which really _was_ designed for an embedded system.

What about building an IJ (Interactive Java).  You loose all the cool
stuff, but then again, there isn't much for graphics on the handy
board.  At least you get some decoupling (object orientation), and
perhaps Java is a little easier to learn (ducking as the holy wars
begin).

Depends on what the original question was, JAVA the language, or JAVA
the environment.  They are different.

I wonder if anyone has tried a Forth implementation on the Java
environment?
