For a few months at work in around 1990, I had to do Forth with a screen editor. I absolutely hated it!! There is a teensy advantage to having a screen tell Forth which other screens to load and in what order, but the rest is severe disadvantages. It'll take a text editor any day, even if it's a very rudimentary one.

The durexForth Vi clone may be a good starting point. It's a file system based forth, though, so I think the methods used may not all apply to a sector/screen based forth. https://github.com/jkotlinski/durexfort ... _src/vi.fs
