 Write a simple Application using just 35 Forth Words.((ExMark - Juergen Pintaske Sept2016)) Set IO Bits and start a ''COUNTER''. There is a Word for ''SOS'' as well; dependent on the hardware you can hear the ''SOS'' as some sounds (or not) just try ''VFXTESTAPP'' running on the PC.  Change the ''NAME'' word to display your NAME.

-First install VFX430LITE from the [[http://www.mpeforth.com/arena.htm#msp430lite|mpeforth.com website]]. Next set up a folder C:\VFXTESTAPP. Store {{ :en:projects:a-start-with-forth:vfxtestapp_2016_10_02v3a_short.doc|this file}} as VFXTESTAPP.doc into this folder. Start VFX430LITE. VFX will complain "cannot open comms" , just type <ok>, this is for later. Now open under //Utilities -> Forth Console//. Forth is ready and running in the VFX Debug Console. Next open this file VFXTESTAPP.doc  in a suitable editor and save it as VFXTESTAPP.txt into the same folder. VFX only accepts pure ASCII files. Then copy ''INCLUDE C:\VFXTESTAPP\VFXTESTAPP.txt'' into the VFX window and hit <cr>((The CR keystroke)) to run this demo. It might work as well, just to select all of the text in the open editor .doc window, copy and paste it into VFX Debug Window. See how VFX compiles to learn new words. When finished, type <cr> and then type ''COUNTER''.  A few lines of "GUI" will be shown. Type in ''PWL'' <cr>, changes PW from 1 to 0, or modify other bits. Enter ''SOS'' <cr>,  ''COUNTER'' <cr> again, or ''400 SCOUNTER'', or ''????'' <cr> for the little debugger.  You get:
