Hi I'm new to pbforth and after trying it out I'm not sure what state it is in. I'm baseing what I do on the guide in extreme mindstorms. After some research I find a number of words no longer exist.

Then I ran ./configure;make to make brickos (...) (21 years ago, 19-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
