- It just occurred to me that for those die-hard block users, it
- wouldn't be hard to write an Emacs save-file hook that translated
- buffers into Forth-style blocks before saving. You could even write a
- Dired mode that read your block directory, and a find-file hook so
- that you could read your blocks into Emacs buffers to edit them.
