Thanks for the recent posting of PICK for pocket forth. Have you
been able to successfully implement multiple windows in Pocket Forth?
It's easy so long as you want all your windows to do the same thing,
but if you want to have different functions/programs for each window,
it seems impossible. 
In MacFORTH, you assign a program to a window by including it in the
activate handler for that window; when the window is activated, the 
handler is invoked. Whenever I try this in Pocket Forth, I get system
crashes. 
Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

          
Thanks in advance,
Randolph Peters

The difference between the implementation complexity of the PICK word and a 
general multiwindow facility (especially in the absence of toobox bindings)
is staggering... The only reason I use(d) pocketforth is to create a set of
operations over matrixes for my precalculus class.

While this was easy and quick and while I will continue to monitor this news-
group, I'm going back to my C work and play (which includes trying to port
a free, portable C/C++/Objective-C compiler to my mac.)
