Thanks, factor DOES look very interesting (combining influences from
Forth, Lisp and others) and Chris Double seems to think highly of it.
However, I would like to have a look at Forth initially.

For the time being, I'll be using Gforth (running on Linux under
Parallels). Once I get some more experience with Forth, I may have a
look at factor.
