Look through the example programs which illustrate the different ways it may be used. Thanks for the reply, but that isn't the question I asked. There are many, many Forths out there that run on PCs or embedded targets. What is different about kForth from all the others available? What was your goal in writing a new Forth when there are so many around? That's the very first question I would want an answer to before I spend any time even reading the installation instructions rather than using what I already am familiar with. What is the purpose of kForth? -- Rick C
