Hello Matthias,

I guess you better alter the above workflow a little if you wish to
prevent postpone (for example) being uploaded multiple times :-)

This #include once behavior is what Python does with import. I was
considering to remember the set of uploaded files between shell sessions
but rejected it for simplicity.

Hmm... I prefer keeping the shell's meta commands "meta"
(http://foldoc.org/meta). Once AmForth incorporates a notion of files
(anyone using AT90USB????) we can let the AVR take charge.
