      Hi! Joel and Carsten,
                                            I just took a look at the retro
editor Carsten suggested.  It's very similar to " blocked.fb" which you
will find in the "version number"  directory.  In order to use the block
editor, you first have to toggle an environment variable, but there are a
few trade-offs to using blocks--mainly involving switchs between
interpreting blocks and files, ie. 'include'-ing a file from within a block
and vice-versa.  Take a look at the gforth manual chapter "Blocks" for more
info.
     It's surprising sometimes how much ground Gforth covers.  A lot of it
unadvertised.
Have you tried out the demos?
     Happy hunting!
                                 James Gere
