[comp.lang.forth] Forth Blocks <-> ASCII Files

So far I've seen three examples on doing this in C?  Hasn't ANYONE done it
in Forth?

I wrote something to do that a while back from Mad Apple Forth - but
I haven't looked at it in ages.  I'll go look for it.  I think it
was 4 screens or so.

Another Forth I used on a 68010 system had a setup where it would send
screens out over a serial line and the receiver would make a text file
out of it with a ^L between screens.  As I remember, a screen did not
have to have all 16 lines as the ^L marked the end of the screen and
the start of the next.  After editing, this text file was sent back
to the 68010 host.  Interesting, eh?

There is one in the F-PC.  Also, I remember sometimes ago
Martin Tracy wrote some words for that in the DDJ.
