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.
