Intro

Changed:

<
< To work with a Forth system you need some kind of a console. A text terminal with RS-232 port has been used for this purpose in the past, today's PCs have software to emulate terminals but have no more any RS-232 interface. But there are usually USB interfaces instead. The USB-CDC appears as a traditional RS-232 port in your operating system (Linux /dev/ttyACMx, Windoze COMx). No need to bother with baud rates, handshaking, parity and other awkward things.

There is also a wireless console for PCs and mobile devices. The proprietary STM BLE Cable Replacement Service is used as communication protocol.
