Re: [colorforth] (state) How is colorForth different from other Forths?

Don't try for brevity- clarity requires words and on the Internet some times
you have to state a concept two ways to avoid miss interpretation.

Let the audience make corrections.

Ideally a CVS is best for this - better than a Wiki.  A.Q. if you like.

You are doing a wonderful thing with your documentation.

My 2 cents worth
