I was wrong, and I'm sorry.  The books are for the Atari.

I, too, am interested in Forth. I currently really don't want to use it for myself but want to support it, mainly with ports from some of my cc65 projects. I have two .pdf files that describe the Fig Forth version but have yet to look at them. I don't know where I got them, though, but their names are Exteneded_Fig_Forth_rev_1.pdf and Extended_Fig_Forth_rev_2.pdf. You should find them online via Google.

Thanks Csabo.
Yes i am looking specifically for that version, because of its graphic commands for the Plus/4, that i could partially manage to run. Could not find another version with Grsphic commands in our database.
The Jupiter Ace has a fantastic manual for learning Forth.
I hoped somebody knew the author personally. But i can try to contact himself to ask how to draw some lines in that Forth dialect.

Are you looking for instructions specifically for this program: Turbo-Forth? Since AFAIK that's not an official release, there might not be a manual for it. There might be a related article in one of the old magazines.
We do have this though: cFORTH Commodore 16 Commodore plus/4 számítógépekre, which is a pretty thorough introduction to Forth itself, and should enough to teach you the basics (no pun intended) so you can use any of the Forth programs. It's in Hungarian though... so you might have to do some OCR + translation.

| Turbo-Forth Programming manuals needed
Hi all,
I discovered for myself the fascinating FORTH language while researching about the Jupiter Ace 8 bit.
The Jupiter Ace was the only 8bit which had Forth as built in lamguage (instead of Basic). Forth is more memory efficient and claimed to be up to 10x faster. The cool thing is, that you can expand the language with you own procedures ( called words).
We have TurboForth for our system which also has some graphic commands. Unfortunatly is the manual missing, which would be helpful to draw some lines.
Anybody knows where i can find them?
