Hey, there are whole web sites out there about programming in forth. You can learn. I waded through it about 6 years ago, but don't remember much. If someone else is doing it, then give them a little encouragement and help if needed. That might be quicker than doing it yourself. By the way, probably bugs isn't the most appropriate place for this discussion. It ain't a bug. Questions maybe or look through the list of lists for a better place. ////jerry > > -- > Freddie Cash, CCNT CCLP Helpdesk / Network Support Tech. > School District 73 (250) 377-HELP [377-4357] > fcash@sd73.bc.ca helpdesk@sd73.bc.ca
