Right at this moment, I would like to have a simple boot menu: I have both -stable and -current on a single drive (different partitions), and I'd = like to select which to boot with a single key stroke. Any pointer on Forth literature/web pages would be appreciated, especially if it's not the ANSI standard (I've looked at it, and it is that: a standard, not a reference manual or a tutorial). My Forth knowledge is rather rusty, I realised... last time I remember I was sitting in front of my Apple II clone about 15 years ago.
