Assuming you have (or can implement) a "standard" REPRESENT then
there is an output words package available.
ftp://ftp.taygeta.com/pub/Forth/Applications/ANS/fpout22.f
Note: this is an "old" version, which I only recommend for systems
which have the standard REPRESENT and can't otherwise upgrade.
Source for a simple high-level REPRESENT can be found here. It
may help you get started. This also has been superceded so I don't
recommend it for new systems.
