Hi Lothar,

This is the first time anyone has shown the slightest bit of interest, so 
thanks!

Gforth is used only for compiling. Avrdude is used to download (if you've 
installed the Arduino software then avrdude should be there). A terminal 
program such as minicom is used to test interactively at 9600 N81. When 
you say that gforth prompts "ok" after your typing "on" or "off" I wonder 
if you were using a terminal to talk to the Arduino.

I'd be happy to help (offline if you prefer) if you give me some more 
information. I'd also be happy to discuss design choices and applications.

Thanks again,
Charley.
