Actually, I think mail client or a web browser would be a good context to 
further develop the colorForth TCP code. The code I wrote was a proof of 
concept, and I intended to develop this code in the the context of a web 
browser to find out what is needed rather than develop a general "sockets" 
layer common in C operating systems. Since then I've looked at some of the 
issues touched upon by Terry, like how to manage downloadable content, 
which is not really addressed by the colorForth system.
