Re: [Flashforth-devel] update to tutorial guide

[Peter J. <pe...@me...>]

Thanks Mikael.  I've enjoyed using FF and I'm hoping that these 
documents help others to get started.

To go with the tutorial guide, I've updated the quick-reference document 
over the past few days.
A current draft is at
https://outbox.eait.uq.edu.au/e4pjacob/flash-forth/flash-forth-5-sheet-2016-02-06.pdf

Main changes:
- I think that I've now captured all of the words listed in your 
glossary file wordsAll.txt.  Where there's a difference between the 
glossary file and the assembler source, I've gone with the source.  
(names of serial queues, for example)
- Added recent I2C and SPI words from tutorial (forth source files attached)
- Added floating-point words.  I've not used them so I've used the 
descriptions from the C library manual.
- With these additions, the content is now 8 full pages (up from 6.5 for 
the previous version).  I had originally intended the document to fit on 
both sides of a single sheet.  I had greatly underestimated FF!
- Shuffled sections to better group the content.  Well, at least I think 
that the new arrangement is better.  Not being a master of the system, 
I'd be happy to get advice on that.
- Marked compile-only words by colouring them blue.

Since there are many words that I've never used, I have guessed at some 
of the descriptions.  If people have suggestions and/or corrections 
please let me know.

Cheers,
Peter J.
