    As someone has already replied, disabling the beastie menu is simple,
    and requires but a single line in /boot/loader.conf.

    On the other hand, I'd recommend cheking out the Forth Interest Group
    web page (http://www.forth.org/) if you want to search for reading material.

    And, yes, it's a love/hate kind of thing. :-) I think someone ported a
    userland version of Forth as lang/ficl.
