I was thinking that having templates made from some of the sample
code might be a way to ease the transition for me, so I'm glad there
are some already.

The applications I'm thinking of using SwiftForth to write are for
the most part not very graphics intensive with the exception of one
so I should be OK without having RAD support.

Thanks for your assistance.
