Returning after a month+ of being consumed by other things, I was
wondering if anyone got a chance to take a look at the interaction
script I sent to the list. The class I wrote it for is over and the
script definitely helped reduce the kid's confusion when things went
wrong and improved their workflow. For that reason I think it would
also be helpful to people who are new to forth, for example trying out
amforth after coming from the Arduino environment etc. What do others
on the list think?
