Ok, I tried to disassemble Quartus forth (mere curiosity). And I've found
that it compiles directly into protected storage, but global variables keeps
in dynamic memory (data #0). Quartus forth is interactive development tools
and I can write my own words (procedures) in 68k assembler and then run it.
How can I make my code manually and the execute it?

Thanks a lot.
