I've dabbled with forth and found it to be an interesting implementation
of a somewhat weak language design.  Now don't misunderstand me, I am
quite interested in the language and consider myself a "forth fan"; I'm
just not completely sold on it.

Among its weaknesses I think its greatest weakness is the lack of some sort
of filesystem, or more appropriately, some method of cataloguing screens.

Here's my question to the readers of this group:  Has anyone implemented a
cataloguing scheme for handling screens in forth?  It would be so much
more convenient to refer to forth programs by name than by number.
