I can't find this anywhere, particularly in Forth Dimensions 14/5 if
you meant this:  http://www.forth.org/fd/FD-V14N5.pdf

Do you have another reference?

I did find a review of the QX10 and Valdocs saying it was nice once they
got the bugs out:

http://www.atariarchives.org/deli/test-driving_the_epson_qx-10.php

A few others said it was nice when it worked but was buggy and slow.

Forth Dimensions 14/5 p. 13 has an interesting article about a
successful telephone answering service application written in Forth,
fwiw.  It says it has 100 KLOC of source code and was written by 17
programmers for a total of 38 man-years.
