I'm a pocket forth user. Pocket forth is great for learning the forth
ropes, as it were, and is not bad for automatic handling of the event loop.
Considering how stripped down it is, it is a remarkably full-featured forth
implementation and is fairly true to the Brodie text "Starting Forth." 

If there are any other pocket forth users out there, you may find this
little
bug fix useful (basically, it allows you to use interpret correctly by
resetting the input stream). See my posting on comp.lang.forth for more
discussion on this.
