        Lesson 1 Part 1.5 F-PC 3.5 Tutorial by Jack Brown   
       ͼ

After typing F in the root directory to execute F.BAT or F in the C:\FPC
directory to execute F.EXE you should see the F-PC welcome screen that
will look something like what is shown below but you should have some
color and some line boxes and spaces between the lines!

C:\> F <enter>                <---- at the DOS prompt


 C - 35k : - 50k  Stack Empty  C:\FPC\                        11:36

         Based on F83 by            Henry Laxen, Michael Perry,  
         F-PC by                    Tom Zimmer & Robert L. Smith 
        ;

             Free Bytes: CODE = 35338, LIST = 50016, HEAD = 27632

                   Bewildered?   Press:  F1  for assistance

                 Press  ESC  to toggle the menubar on or off.

        Current File =  No file Open

Pressing <enter> should produce the traditional Forth prompt:

  ok     <----- traditional Forth style prompt!

Press <enter> a few times and you should get Forth's traditional

ok

Well now we are in the system so let us exit the system or say
good bye to Forth.  The command to leave forth is just BYE  Type:

BYE  <enter>    <---  Remember  <enter> means press it.

BYE  Leaving..  <---  This is what you will see!
C:\FPC>CD \     <---  Dos prompt and last command in F.BAT
C:\>            <---  and finally you will see the dos prompt.

DOS TIP  If you place the following line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
         your dos prompt will include the current directory path as
         shown above.

PROMPT $P$G

To restart Forth type F again.  Do this now and press return once in
Forth to get the  ok prompt again.  Bye the way we are working with the
Caps lock set on my computer so that we get capital letters when we type
words for Forth to interpret. F-PC will also accept lower case but we
prefer upper case here to make the Forth commands/words stand out from
the rest of the text.
