Great, thank you indeed.

Even greater. You will be my hero ;)

A quick look at some source files does not reveal anything that
should be done differently. As long as you dont use the gforth
style.. (my impression from reading the gforth sources is that
they love programming like this:

: (foo) bar ;
: foo (foo) baz ;

((foo) is never used (or even documented) elsewhere)

I admire the work of the gforth people, but wrt code
readability I try to beat them.

Would you mind to write a few sentences what you suggest for a recipe?

That would be fine, but will create objections from people that even
do not like the amforth-shell for its python-ness ;)
