	Greetings,
	I'm new to the usenet environment, so please excuse any repetition or
naivete on my part. My quest is to locate a reasonably well behaved version of
FORTH for the Radio Shack Color Computer.
	This would be an Xmas gift for someone with a disk based extended
basic system. He currently uses basic and machine language for programming.
	I have had some experience with forth and have enjoyed it immensely (of
course). I've used both the FIG and the CALTECH implementations on the
PDP-11, so comparisons with them would be rather helpful.
	Thanks in advance for any comments on this topic.

	(By "well behaved" I mean it doesn't need a rewrite for this
	machine and has most of the Starting Forth stuff,etc.)
