I don't think Quartus forth has anything to do with this..
Flash RAM is the non-volatile RAM that is in some Palm devices where
the OS is stored. There is 2 Megs of Flash RAM in those devices that
have it, but, depending on the OS you're running, it's not all the
way full. Utilities exist (like FlashPro and JackFlash) that allow
users to access the left over Flash to store their own applications
and data. Flash RAM is only accessible using these specialized
applications, and not by your application.
If your app is self-modifying and stored in Flash, it will fail
because it cannot write to flash RAM.
