Talking about Forth, I have seen the ad for it in a few of the magazines and
have had some interest.  The question I have is, Is there an Apple Market for
such a language.  I have heard (way back in BYTE magazine) about it and it was
just briefly talked about.  I just wonder what applications can be best
written in Forth?  Is it better than PASCAL in the sense of teaching
beginners?  Is it structured?  Is it commonly used in the REAL world?

Many questions from a simple mind!
