    Thanks for posting.
    i gave it a quick 5 3 + .
    and looked at the word list.
    For my level of Forth I have to wait for access to a word list with explanations.

    Try the manual. https://eforth.arduino-forth.com/index/glossaire/

    It worked for a lot of people!

    Thank you very much. This is probably step number 2 for me.

    Let's first go with what I have as part of my Forth Bookshelf.
    It reminded me of what I did many years ago:
    THE FORTH LITE TUTORIAL https://www.amazon.co.uk/FORTH-LITE-TUTORIAL-compatible-SwiftForth/dp/1717970672
    Even the comments there are not negative ...

    There I did some simple examples to see what happens.

    Now, many years later, it will give me the opportunity to check a bit of compatibility.
    At the time it was VFX and Swiftforth, let's see how compatible the newer Forths are - like this one.


    And as well I am playing with uEForth1 on the Arduino nano
    And there are examples running on WOKWI, I liked the one where you control 4 servos online.

    Speaking of 'learn by doing', I've not seen it but 'Forth Application Techniques'
    (forth.com) has been around for years. I was impressed by the intro to forth in
    the RSC-Forth manual (section 4). Nicely paced and informal, it was written for
    engineers needing to come to grips with a new language quickly. Reader comes away
    feeling 'I got this!'. How Forth ought to be taught? Nothing was more daunting
    than being presented with a FIG glossary and told to learn it :)

    Have to admit feeling like a noob using the WIN version. First
    disappointment was finding out common functions weren't loaded by default. Tried 'include utils.fs' ... 'Error including: utils.fs'
    After stuffing around I find I need to 'include utils' (according to
    glossary above the former should have worked).
    So now 'include utils' - which it does but then spits out 'ERROR' with
    nothing to indicate what.

    I appreciate ueforth is a work in progress but ATM only for fans with a
    high tolerance level for surprises.

    You must use included....

    It turns out 'include utils.fs' does work. Not explained AFAIK is vocabulary.fs
    must be loaded before anything else or strange things happen. I hasten to add documentation is the developer's responsibility - not users.
