   In this instance, I was using Forth as a scientific calculator that I   
   could easily show the data input, algorithm, and output results in a   
   reproducible and sharable fashion.   
      
   I stumbled upon the "Average of a list" thread from last month and took   
   advantage of the discussion to get the knowledgeable c.l.f denizens to   
   whittle down my naive code to its essentials and learn fish for myself a   
   bit better in the future. Many thanks you and all who take the time to   
   teach or opine.
