For those wanting maybe to compare the Forth source code in fern.f versus an equivalent BBCBASIC, here an approximate equivalent.
MODE 8 GCOL 0, 2 VDU 29, 639; 0; X = 0: Y = 0 COLOUR 15 PRINT TAB( 1, 1 ); "Fractal Fern" PRINT TAB( 1, 2 ); "from PC Magazine" FOR I = 1 TO 40000 : R = RND( 1 ) : IF (R <= .01) THEN A = 0: B = 0: C = 0: D = .16: E = 0: F = 0 ELSEIF R > .01 AND R <= .86 THEN; A = .85: B = .04: C = -.04: D = .85: E = 0: F = 1.6 ELSEIF R > .86 AND R <= .93 THEN; A = .2: B = -.26: C = .23: D = .22: E = 0: F = 1.6 ELSE A = -.15: B = .28: C = .26: D = .24: E = 0: F = .44 ENDIF : NEWX = (A * X) + (B * Y) + E NEWY = (C * X) + (D * Y) + F : PLOT 69, 100 * X, 100 * Y : X = NEWX: Y = NEWY : NEXT I : END

Didn't Richard do a one-line version of that program?

Very approximate (your program uses floating-point values, whereas the Forth version is integer only of course). Here is the actual BBC BASIC program from which the Forth version was translated:
Code: MODE 8
OFF
GCOL 2
:
X%=0
Y%=0
:
FOR I%=1 TO 80000
R% = RND(100)
:
CASE TRUE OF
WHEN R%<=10 A%=0: B%=0: C%=0: D%=16: F%=0
WHEN R%>10 AND R%<=86 A%=85: B%=4: C%=-4: D%=85: F%=160
WHEN R%>86 AND R%<=93 A%=20: B%=-26: C%=23: D%=22: F%=160
WHEN R%>93 A%=-15: B%=28: C%=26: D%=24: F%=44
ENDCASE
:
Z%=A%*X%DIV100+B%*Y%DIV100
Y%=C%*X%DIV100+D%*Y%DIV100+F%
X%=Z%
MOVE 600+X%, Y%
DRAW 600+X%, Y%
:
NEXT I% Richard.

This was what I'd worked out so far on accessing MIDI.
This is NOT complete code yet, as I was unsure on some points..
Code:
\ MIDI Functions - NOT Quite AMPLE but may be
workable...
\ TODO: GM-Style Instrument numbering
1 CONSTANT 'Grand_Piano'
\ TODO: GM-Style Drum Mapping....
\ These would be pitch values used by Channel 10.
S" WINMM.DLL" LoadLibrary CONSTANT WinMM \Load WinMM Library
\ Obtain addresses for relevant functions in WinMM
WinMM S" midiOutOpen" GetProcedureAddress CONSTANT midiOpenOut
WinMM S" midiOutShortMsg" GetProcedureAddress CONSTANT midiOutShortMsg
WinMM S" midiOutClose" GetProcedureAddress CONSTANT midiOutClose
VARIABLE MidiHandle
0 MidiHandle ! \Variable Initialisation
\ Is this correct way to set up variable to hold midichannels?
\ Per MIDITEST.BBC
:GetMidi
0 0 0 -1 \ Params in order on stack needed.
MidiHandle \
\ Probably need to test return value here...
;
:_SendShortMsg
MidiHandle @ \ Contents NOT address...
midiOutShortMsg SYSCALL
;
:PlayNote (note --) \ Based on PlayNewNote in MIDITEST.BBC
256 * 144 +
127 16 LSHIFT + \ dwmsg
_SendShortMsg
;
:StopNote \ (note --) StopNoteBased on StopPlay in MIDITEST.BBC
256 * 128 +
_SendShortMsg
;
:Insturment (voice --) \ Change Instrument
1 - 256 * 192 + \ Setup voice change.
127 16 LSHIFT + \ Question do we have LSHIFT/ RSHIFT?
_SendShortMsg
;
:CloseMidi
MidiHandle @
DUP \ Because we need it for closing the midi device
IF \ I.E Non Zero handle
midiOutClose SYSCALL \ Close the device using it.
THEN ;
DROP \Drop duplicate param...

Quote: Surely there's no need to use '256 MOD' before EMIT (since EMIT outputs just a single byte)? In any case the parameters you supply to DEFINECHAR are presumably all in the range 0-255 anyway!
There are many typos and other errors in your code, but presumably you are aware of that. Maybe in future it would be better to check that Forth at least accepts it before listing it here.

OK. Question to the FORTH people here, what are the more obvious glaring misunderstandings I have?

I have uploaded the latest version (0.25) of BB4Wforth here:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bb4w/files/BB4Wforth/BB4Wforth.zip
This version implements the following additional words: UM*, INKEY, OPENIN, OPENOUT, OPENUP, BGET, BPUT, CLOSE, ABS, MAX, MIN, TABXY, MS. The following aliases are also provided: PAGE (same as CLS), AT-XY (same as TABXY) and TYPE (same as TELL). The following variables are now available (corresponding to the similarly-named 'system variables' in BB4W): hwnd, memhdc, prthdc, hcsr, hpal, midiid, hfiles, flags, vduvar, ox, oy, cmd$, dir$, lib$, tmp$, usr$.
It is not my intention to make any more changes to BB4Wforth, unless a major bug or omission is reported. Although the full source code is provided in the above ZIP file, I would ask that changes are submitted to me for incorporation, rather than multiple incompatible versions being proliferated.
Richard.

I've updated BB4Wforth to version 0.26:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bb4w/files/BB4Wforth/BB4Wforth.zip
This version fixes a couple of bugs:
1. Using *LIST (S" list filename" OSCLI) caused an 'abort error'.
2. If 'Close' was clicked whilst a Forth program was executing, the window would go into an 'unresponding' state.

I'm pleased to announce the release of BB4Wforth version 0.35:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bb4w/files/BB4Wforth/bb4wforth.zip
This version runs somewhat more quickly than version 0.33 (but is otherwise functionally equivalent).
