? what is this all about ?
No! I won't klik on your URLs ! I'm not a TV-shopper.
I wanted to investigate colorforth, because I *KNOW* that color adds
an extra-dimension -- for me. For a language that you only use
occasionally, and don't build fluency: color is an effective prompt.

Then it seemed that colorforth only runs on M$; so I looked at 
rainbowforth. What a Hollywood presentation, dating back to 2008.
It seems promising, but the 'primitives' need to be loaded first
[i can't see how to load the primitives] because eg.
  2 3 + .
gives < error for tokens "+" , "." or any except integers and
various <rainbow forth system tokens>.

The 1Kb editor is saved to it's own file OK, and the
<color buttons> and other <controls> are nice.

There seems to have been no activity recently and it's moved
from sourceforge to github. Which is another load of hollywood
style crap!!   Typically:--

] Please note that GitHub no longer supports old versions of Firefox.
] We recommend upgrading to the latest Safari, Google Chrome, or Firefox.

Screw these hollywood clowns !!
