I saw this message when I opened gmail to send out my email.
It's occurred to me while using SF a *lot* during the past year or so that
there's a lot in there that's collecting dust... :) I understand that
Forth Inc. doesn't have a lot of resources to spend on refining and
improving SwiftForth, but I think it deserves it. :)

Might as well toss those words out ... I see no use to them.
