   I'm unclear on the whole concept Tom Zimmer was advocating so I was   
   asking if anyone had examples.   
      
   I have a bare metal type embedded system I'm working on where I can   
   command it from Ethernet. It has a serial console port. Maybe your first   
   idea would be an example where I could command it to stop and jump into   
   a Forth ok prompt so I could type commands into the serial port and see   
   debug output there.   
      
   Your second idea is along the lines of the Gforth/ATLAST concept where   
   Forth is a scripting language for a C/C++ application. I have another   
   Linux based embedded system that has some pieces that are always   
   changing. Maybe a Forth task inside a C/C++ program that would pick up   
   changeable scripts from the SD Card would be better than constantly   
   recompiling my C/C++ application and re-flashing main memory.
