What is that movie supposed to be showing us? Replacing the sound
track with someone speaking and explaining what is on the screen (and
why it is important) would potentially be useful to get people
interested. But most of what the video shows is cursor flying around.

What I think would be ideal is a start-to-end video where a simple but
non-trivial problem is solved in ColorForth and narrated. From
booting the system to writing/testing the code to finally committing
the code back to some media, seeing ColorForth actually being used, in
real-time, by someone who is comfortable with the environment would be
useful. Such as "watching over the shoulder" video would give people
an immediate taste of what ColorForth is about.

as also the many aspects that people want to know about ..
from booting to code-locations, asm codes which make it
tick, adding words/macros/comments, saving, reloading the
saved work, loading on and from hard-disk,

i'm sure ray is on this list and will be happy to get this
and more suggestions

(in any case, i'll forward this to the Color-Forth group on google)

Excellent suggestion. I'd be very interested to see somthing like
that. An over-the-shoulder with commentary would be great.

Thank you, John, PK, and Mark:

For responding here to suggest what should appear in the next movies.

Already in production is the Making-of movie
that I hope to use to begin to delve
into the depths of colorForth, possibly
starting with the cursor programs and
many many other demos I've constructed
over the last 10 years.

If you have even more specific ideas you would like
covered, then I will be glad to attempt them.

I am not a professional movie maker, programmer, or
anything, really, so your patience and kind words
are welcome, always.

Thanks again for the interest
Ray
