No.  20 perhaps, but not 130.

I believe there is much duplication and material on the site not directly 
relavent to learning how to use ColorForth (e.g., philosophy, status, 
etc.), and could either be left in a separate document, or can be used 
as an appendix.

It might be fun and instructive to attempt a more comprehensive users 
manual some time.  I wish I had that kind of time though.  As it is, I 
work 25 hours at one job, 15 at another (thus totaling 40 hours, without 
all the benefits.  :( ), plus going to school to earn my Physics degree.  
Ouch.  :/

If I do undertake this, and I remember, it'll have to be during summer 
break period.
