Well you have a point there.  Another language/
system that I use alot is Oberon.  They've made
changes over the years that's given it more of
a "mainstream" interface.  One thing that was
frustrating early on was that all of the commands
where launched with the middle mouse button.
There was a work around if you only had a two
button mouse, but you could read that because
until you first figured out how the scrollbars
worked!  :)

I can definitely see some usefullness to the idea.
I'm thinking of writing a program for my wife's
research using ColorForth.  QWERTY would likely
make such an "end user" program better received.

Navigation indeed works as you've described when I
am in "QWERTY" mode, but when I switch back to
Dworvak mode the navigation keys ("M" and "/") no
longer work.
