Albert ,
    +  is on block 22  and is not in the  color.asm
 + was removed  along with other words  when they could be  implemented 
in blocks.
    Just the the assembler  + is available in color.asm
 Only  the code needed to initialize and  support  load is needed in  
color.asm
   I think only    1,  2, 3,  ,  ;  then  forth macro  are  necessary 
in  color.asm 
or colorForth meta compiler.
The rest including keyboard,  video  and editor can now be moved to blocks.
This is a chicken and egg problem.
