I agree completely  concerning the PIC18.   The 8bit processors are the 
ones to use for starting the students in the world of embedded 
control.   The price and capabilities of the PIC18 family coupled with 
FlashForth create a very impressive controller package with real-time 
development thrown in.

FORTH has always had a bit of a steep introductory learning curve, but 
then the language becomes very easy to use and one can concentrate on 
the hardware.  Your tutorial will help greatly to start to learn to use 
FF3.8 .

One point to make here is how easy it is to then move to say a PIC30 
(16bit) and FlashForth 4.8 after starting on a PIC18 and FlashForth 3.8 .
