[greetings line muncher!]

I have just started following net.lang.forth and have found it helpful
as I am just beginning to discover what forth is about. It appears to
me that thtere are sources available for fig-forth on an 8080 and 6502.
Hoping to use them as learning tools I was hoping that someone would be kind
enough to mail me a copy of these sources? Also concerning a posting by
Peter da Silva: Do you have a glossary of all the words that could be
posted? I am a little puzzled as well about trying to use the editor
on the standard screens (if it is possible at all.) I got your forth up
and running on a pdp-11/Venix with no problems at all and have enjoyed
being able to play around with it a little. I found out quickly that
just having "Starting Forth" will not help a lot as a number of the
words have different meanings.

Thanks in advance..
