I would like to see the FORTH standard words arranged as a hypertext structure so that I could view documentation for the words on-line and see related words easily. I wish I had a function oriented glossary for Multi-Forth on the Amiga. It would make it alot easier to remember the string word that does what I want, etc., etc. I suspect that the primary reason for alphabetic glossaries is simply laziness. -- Rich -- Rich Thomson, Oasis Technologies, 3190 MEB, U of U, Salt Lake City, Utah 84112 (801) 355-5146 thomson@cs.utah.edu {bellcore,ut-sally}!utah-cs!thomson Alcohol: the drug of availability
