I believe you're right on track Adrzej. Have you experienced any 'technical difficulties' with AtLast? We tried to use it ourselves and beat a hasty retreat to PFE (/usr/ports/lang/forth). (SIGSEGVs) You might poke around ftp://ftp.taygeta.com for more Forth lore. I would encourage you to stick with an ANSI forth if possible since there is a fair amount of UI code available. Feel free to drop me a line if I can help with any Forth issues...
