Proposal and Comment Submittal Form Instructions
Please use the supplied forms for your entire proposal. The
continuation form is only to be used if absolutely necessary; try
to get your proposal to fit on the first sheet. If it helps, use
a reducing copy machine to get more material onto the first
sheet. If you must use multiple sheets, put the main idea onto
the first sheet and less important material onto continuation
sheets. Remember that material on continuation sheets may be
overlooked.
The proposal forms have been produced on a computer system so
that you may produce your proposals using your own computer
system. If you print your proposal and form on your computer
system, all of the information shown on the form(s) MUST be
printed and in the same location.
The following are the instructions for each of the areas of the
form:
1. Please think of the most appropriate keyword or keywords
describing your proposal.
2. Select the best of the following categories of proposals:
0 Nucleus Layer other than #1 (i.e., + AND )
1 Memory Operations (i.e., @ CMOVE )
2 Dictionary (i.e., ' FORGET )

4 Interpreter Layer other than #2 or #3 (i.e., ABORT . )
5 Compiler Layer (i.e., : DO )
6 Device Layer (i.e., BLOCK TYPE )

3. Mark whether this is a PROPOSAL or a COMMENT.
4. Indicate which FORTH word or words are relevant.
5. Indicate which section or sections of the Standard are

Team meeting.
