	The best book that I know as an introductory text for FORTH
is by Leo Brodie, published by FORTH, inc. and is called ... um ...
FORTH something or other.   Just look under Brodie...  Anyway, it's
a great book, with lots of cute illustrations of the various operators,
(i.e. a bird with two heads for "SWAP", a juggler for "ROT", etc.).

	If you don't go in for that, still buy the book, it has enough
hard facts to make you a moderate-to-great FORTH programmer.
