you did indeed get another one, and I'd love to be on the update list (use
my personal email grahams@pipeline.com <mailto:grahams@pipeline.com> ).
What a great wee language!
I started programming from the top down - high level languages first, so
FORTH is a great corrective - and perfect for this environment.
BTW, I only started using it when I read Dave Baum's chapter on it - and
realized how straightforward it was to set up.
Thanks again for making a fun toy even more fun.

Ha, got another one! Do you want to be on the update list?

While you are drinking some crazy new "vita brevis" beer, the rest
of us
are short of time ;-)
