google lead me to sourceforge; so I put the URL which didn't suggest being a binary, in my list of <append fetched text to ColorForth:File>. And it dumped a fat M$loth executable there! ColoUr is efficient for providing an extra dimention for complex-problem solving. We have evolved as visual-creatures. Heads-up: selecting from menues, is how it should be. Tapping messages to the-little-man-in-the box is absurd. To facilitate human-reading [which we paid schooling costs for] we should just select the syntactically valid choice at the present context. A bit like spreadsheets. Unpaired-brackets should be as rare as a pencil-without-lead. Nesting of brackets should show the contents in alternate colours, by default. Using a new computer language should be like visiting a new town; which has the same rules: like selecting 1-of-a-zillion telephone numbers from the directory. I suspect colorforth uses some of these ideas? ETHOberon from the 90's does -- with great effect.
