[ColorForth] drawing task

[Bob Shafer <bobsh@xxxxxxxxx>]

I guess I'll take a stab at answering this since no one else has....

Unless I'm misunderstanding you (which is not unlikely :-), all you have to 
do is define a word that uses "show" in it. Everything from "show" on will 
become the new display task, when the word that contains it is executed. 
Some of the example applications show how this works; I forget which 
ones... most all of them, probably.
I think the word "ok" is usually the one that contains the "show". At least 
one of the apps discusses this a little in its shadow (comment) screen.

Proviso: I haven't booted colorForth in a few days, and have only studied 
and played with it a bit, and not tried to write anything with it yet, so I 
could be misunderstanding how it works or misremembering or....
