Cool! This is what I origianlly designed pbFORTH fro, so you could upload
source prom your PalmPilot via the Serial interface to the IR tower...
There's even an ANSI forth for the PalmPilot for testing code!!!
I for one would LOVE to see this as soon as possible. If you post
it (even if it's ugly) someone might help to clean it up...
