One thought about this. Should this documentation be integrated with
colorForth? Should colorForth have the ability to edit and view marked up
documentation? Maybe this would be part of the FML that Chuck mentioned
breifly.

I understand colorForth is nice envrironment for running experiments
unencumbered by the many layers in present in current systems. Does any
one else have an interest in colorForth as a user system? If so it might a
good idea to think of how documentation might be integrated.
