Hi Keith,
Your amforth-shell.py is designed for importing and that's a good
starting point. I am sure that we can copy ideas from the various python
development approaches under emacs to modify gforth.el. All that we need
is ... time :-)
Did you make any significant changes to gforth.el? All I did thus far is
just adding some keywords and change indentation to follow the
openfirmware style.
Regards, Enoch.
