Albert ,
   +  is on block 22  and is not in the  color.asm
+ was removed  along with other words  when they could be  implemented 
in blocks.
   Just the the assembler  + is available in color.asm
Only  the code needed to initialize and  support  load is needed in  
color.asm
  I think only    1,  2, 3,  ,  ;  then  forth macro  are  necessary 
in  color.asm 
or colorForth meta compiler.
The rest including keyboard,  video  and editor can now be moved to blocks.
This is a chicken and egg problem.

p.s.1  2 and  j z  were exchanged to make number conversion simpler.
