	Check out the group comp.lang.forth ... FORTH is a threaded 
	interpreted language much faster than the average BASIC, can
	be embedded, extended and has a proven track record in the
	area of embedded controllers and robotics.  The incremental
	compilation allows a LOAD & GO rather than EDIT, COMPILE, LINK
	DOWN-LOAD TEST EDIT ... cycle which will save eons of development
	time ...  ( yes, I like it ... can you tell? )
