      installed and operating on your Amiga.


To use Textra as an integrated editor with JForth...

   1. Insure the provided 'JCompile.textra' script
      is in the rexx: directory (Use the script
      described in the above NOTE to install the
      Textra/ARexx scripts, if necessary).
   
   2. Launch both Textra and the JForth_Demo program.
   
   3. In Textra, open one of the provided source
      files (in the 'programs' drawer).
   
   4. In the Textra window for that source file, pull
      down the "Utilities, AREXX..." menu item.
   
   5. Into any of the string gadgets, type in
      
           jcompile
      
      then hit RETURN.  (From then on, to compile a
      window's contents, just select that window, and
      press the F-KEY associated with the 'jcompile'
      string gadget).
      
   6. Textra will tell JForth to compile the file.
   
NOTE: If an error occurs while compiling, JForth will
      tell Textra to highlight the offending line.
      The JForth window will display a specific error
      message.

NOTE: If the file compiles sucessfully, JForth will
      stay 'active' and front it's console window to
      facilitate execution/testing/debugging of the
      file just compiled.



Here is a list of provided '.textra' ARexx scripts
designed to interface with JForth...

INTERPRET.TEXTRA    (arguments: none )
