New Re: Great question
[...] exception FORTH, which should never be more than 60 or so lines per chunk

60 lines per chunk? For FORTH? 60 lines would be a mind-numbingly huge FORTH word (i.e. routine). FORTH words tend to be very small, many one-liners, up to three lines very common, 5 lines would be on the large size, and 20 lines would be HUGE!

Perhaps you didn't mean Chunk = Word.

I think I meant 20 - was thinking of a traditional "screen". I transposed rows and columns :)

Loopholes and fine print are there for a reason, and it's not to make you happy.
