FORTH accessing Tcl/Tk functionality via DLL in WinXP

I'm a RAW newbie to Tcl/Tk.
I'm an inexperienced FORTH programmer.
   [FORTH's attraction is primarily colon definitions]

My environment:
    1. WinXP Pro SP2
    2. Tcl/Tk
      a. what is distributed with scilab-4.1
      b. ActiveState's 8.4.14 distribution of Tcl/Tk
    3. FORTH
      a. SwiftForth 3.0 from FORTH Inc. ( www.forth.com ) active
      b. Win32Forth probably acceptable but not currently installed

My goal:
    Explore possibilities of FORTH + Tcl/Tk

My *IMMEDIATE* question
  After making a calculation in FORTH how do i display it in Tcl/Tk?

I make *ABSOLUTELY* _NO_ claim that a sane person would do this. It is
just a question of how each may talk to other. I've got some VAGUE ideas
of how that might be useful.

Said ideas *_NOT_* open to discussion ;\

I've posted preliminary version to comp.lang.forth and comp.lang.tcl
