I would like to see higher levels of language describing windows functions.
It seems to me that one must always go to the smallest fragments and use
lots of them to create even slight windows activities. Some words are even
not present in the Forth wordlist. So I only copy what others have done
already, rather than doing myself or inventing my own windows because of the
complexity of it all.

I would like to see a single-stepper. There may be already one available,
but I am unfamiliar with it.
