OpenDiscussion for IDE SwiftForth Survey

Hi group.

I work with SwiftForth since the November, 2007.

I want to open the discussion about IDE structure.
The question have arisen from preparing executable-image for end-user.

Yes it indeed consists of Forth-kernel and my own vocabularies also there,
and as side effect the vocabularies meant for development phase.
There is target-compiler in SwiftForth but word PROGRAM don't use it...
Also there is HI.F file which one should edit before creating final
turnkey-image but
that is problem why I want to open discussion.

For now it's seems the word REQUIRES should be moved in the kernel. So base is
the kernel.
Next level is something similar to HI.F but not a copy of last.
Here one can use word REQUIRES to extend kernel with FORTH extensions,
DEBUG-TOOL, PLATFORM-SPECIFIC-TOOL, and APPLICATION.
Under PLATFORM-SPECIFIC-TOOL I suppose such function like GDI, Security,
Multitasking, and so on which are different on each OS platform.

Perhaps this scheme will be more simplicity then currently HI.F file.

Hope on your comprehension,
Alexander
