Hmm, ok.  Does that mean each task has its own wordlist and dictionary
area that threads to a parent dictionary?

For some reason I thought Forth's extremely lightweight tasking meant
task memory of just the two stacks and a few saved registers.  Task
locals would come from the main heap.  I got this impression from
looking at the eForth tasker on Bill Muench's site.

Is there any documentation I can find about a traditional Forth
multitasker?  The full sized Forths these days tend to use OS threads.
Brad Rodriguez's articles are tantalizing but not very detailed about
this subject.
