     I am a beginning Forth user, and I am intrigued by Forth's syntax, which 
is completely different than anything else I've ever tinkered with.  Since 
Forth is a stack oriented language, it seems to me that it would be very
suitable for recursive programming.  Do any implementations of Forth directly
support recursively defined words?  Is it possible to program extensions in
Forth that will add this capability?
