Do you keep names and addresses in Forth? Is there an application you use every day? Do you know how to show us Forth running on the Palm via the emulator program? Do you have a predictable repetable bug that crashes your system? Do you want to learn how do debug a word? Would you like to see how to use Forth to implement a simple version of HTML? Can you show us the advantages of XML? Do you want to see the hyperlinked version of the draft of the ANS Forth standard? Have you modified any of the 246 files that come with Win32Forth?
