Thanks, that's interesting.

I guess besides the blocks/screens thing, I'm also wondering what it was
like developing on those fairly limited systems.  Today, we mostly use
fancy coding environments on big computers, sometimes tethered to
microcomputer targets.  There's lots of resident Forths for
microcomputers but I get the impression they are basically treated as
toys.  So I'm wondering what kinds of development techniques were used
on the minicomputer Forths of yore, without window systems or process
separation or much error checking in the Forth interpreter.
