Standalone loader would be nice.

Well, the most important, of course, is the stack bug.
BTW, what about multitasker?
How many cells would you recommend to allocate?
Should be it checked by HAT word or not?

Sure, I would like to have no-echo mode too.

Do you mean RCX LCD indication or splash screen for console?
(or maybe design of pbForth logo? ;)
The reasonable interface with RCX is quite important. Especially for a new
users. First time I tried pbForth, I was not sure if it even works.
Now I don't know if RCX in On or in Off state...
So at least kind of "alive" indication would be nice to have.
For myself I've considered two alternatives - showing all zeroes on LCD or
display that standing man figure. In fact, it depends from how complex your
extension will be. For instance, standing figure could indicate interactive
mode, and running figure - execution mode.
Anyway I prefer to be close to LEGO style.

| (...) Yes, it should. The issue is that you never really know if the stack will blast through the 256 byte boundary, unless HAT checks it. You generally allocate small stacks, so HAT could be modified to FORCE the data stack to start at the boundary (...) (25 years ago, 28-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
