Right at this moment, I would like to have a simple boot menu: I have both
-stable and -current on a single drive (different partitions), and I'd like
to select which to boot with a single key stroke.

Any pointer on Forth literature/web pages would be appreciated, especially
if it's not the ANSI standard (I've looked at it, and it is that: a
standard, not a reference manual or a tutorial).  My Forth knowledge is
rather rusty, I realised... last time I remember I was sitting in front of
my Apple II clone about 15 years ago.
