Only a short outline:
1. you need to add a few words to amforth via dict_appl.inc (see 
mails before)

2. you need to add a floating point input method to amforth. 
This can now be done by using a recognizer. I haven't looked at 
it lately, but it should be available. The floating point 
recognizer is then added between "find" and "number" into the 
list of recognizers.

Well, there should exist some recipe on that ... but I don't see 
one.



You seem to have used other Forths, so I assume you know about 
scaled integer.

Cheers,
Erich
