For kicks write a "FORTH" development system. A good chance to learn
the language and there is similar examples on the internet archives.

Since it uses two stacks and lex and yacc can execute "c" to implement
the keywords you can write a lot of the mechanisms directly in lex/yacc
with very little additional modules. I have only written a forth
interpreter in assembly language threaded code, but always though lex
was a good way to go, (except for the slowness).
rlandsman - just a suggestion - good luck.
