Hi Nick. Looks like you are making progress here.

In order to find out how QwertyOkadWork.cf works:
Think of OkadWork.cf as the template file that the cf2.exe wrapper is
going to load when it is executed so...

To open any file with cf2.exe ( preferably a colorForth file) you must
rename it to OkadWork.cf. It could have been called anything.
Workingfile... on and on. Name does not matter.

I've not done this yet but I will after answering this e-mail.

Does this mean ( sorry, I don't recall the last post ) that you added
the 5:6:5 routine to your version?

I don't think I understand what you mean by "e" gives 13 lines per
screen instead of 26.
Can you please add detail for me, as I think I am missing the point?
Thank you in advance.
