Hey,

Are there any decent Android Forths out there with decent telnet/remote
support? I've tried out using gForth on Android, but when running `telnet`
the control characters (?) used to display the modeline at the bottom end
up ruining the Telnet experience. I've thought about writing a small
telnet client which just filters that modeline out, but I was wondering if
there is a good telnet capable Android Forth for on-device dev.

You can disable the status line with -STATUS

Yes, you can run it from the command line, or you can put it in
$HOME/.config/gforthrc, and then it will be run on every gforth start
(Sorry, I don't know if Android has a $HOME directory).
