What would your top two tips for beginning Forth programmers be? Other than "don't use Forth".

Find an existing implementation that runs on some computer you already have, or have an emulator for.

Then find a computer you're really into, and port fig-Forth to it, just for fun. Don't copy the source across, type it in with your own changes as you go.

Edit: Don't forget to have fun. That's the most important thing. You're doing this because you *can*, and just to see what will happen.
