   I think these days the approach is less useful because of the   
   availability of external debuggers.  C programmers these days are   
   comfortable with GDB, which gives source level debugging and   
   breakpoints.  I'd be interested to know if any integrated Forth   
   debuggers supported that.   
      
   Gforth is quite heavyweight by Forth standards and if you wanted to use   
   Forth that way, you might be happier with something like pForth.  Is the   
   idea to stop the application while poking around with Forth, or would   
   Forth be a task under an RTOS, or what?
