[comp.lang.forth] Looking for a forth editor

Hi, 

I'm looking for an editor in forth, for forth.  
I don't know much about forth.  If any one thinks 
they have such an animal, could you forward it to me.
By the way the machine that I need this for is an 
Atari 520st (forthmax). 

tootles,

Well, you can go for the bad to the excellent.

On the bad (but small and easy) side is the "starting forth" forth block
editor.  It is line oriented, reasonably transportable, uses blocks, and
is in the back of Starting Forth by Brodie.  On the other end, F-PC 2.15
for the ibm pc comes with a very nice full screen editor written in forth.
This is probably a beast to move to another forth system.

Hope this helps!
