Well, not quite. I INCLUDED the file, and got an "ok", but couldn't run any
of it; i.e., Forth didn't seem torecognize any of the words defined in
CLICKS.F, including START, GO, and a few others which I would have expected
to result in something happening. So you're not as close to comment
overkill as I thought. Reminds me of one of your competitors' manuals,
which lays out procedures which aren't quite right, or which need a well
defined context, not mentioned in the manual, to run.

I'll sleep on it for now.
