Re: [colorforth] colorforth 2.0a for stand-alone and Windows use

Turns out I don't find any functional gain from this for colorForth2.0a.

This can be accomplished just as easy in windows by copying the
current OkadWork.cf, pasting it back into the folder and then renaming
it.

This is an Edit time factoring. Do not even include. Saves writing
code and storing it in a block.

Thinking out loud.
