        The lessons in this course are written as .SEQ files that can
        be FLOADed by F-PC.  This will cause all words defined in the
        lessons to be compiled and ready to use.  The material in the
        lessons are arranged on individual pages from which viewgraphs
        can be made for lectures.

        These lessons are designed to be used by computer science and
        engineering students who know some other language (exposure to
        8088/8086 assembly language will help but is not essential) and
        want to learn Forth as easily and quickly as possible.  Going
        through these lessons should provide you with the background you
        need to understand the wealth of information that is part of the
        entire F-PC system.  It is hoped that it will open up a new and
        powerful way of programming for you.
