I've added a few new files to the QForth site. The most useful one is
the serial.4th file which adds some modem port words for the Apple
IIgs. With a stock IIgs running in 8-bit on "FAST" it handles speeds
up to 57600 baud. Someday I might do the same for the SSC.

I've been using the serial words quite a bit recently. I've
discovered that this is a nice setup for talking to serial devices or
for acting like a serial device while developing code for other
platforms. If you need to monkey around talking to a device this is a
handy way to do it. If you are on newer platforms, the pyserial
module for Python is also a nice set up.
Not responsible for the odd looks you will receive from fellow
developers for uploading Forth code for an ancient computer to the
source code repository!
