Press the reset button on the RC2014 to have Forth begin its bootstrap process.
Note that it has to build more than half of itself from source. It takes a
while (TODO: indicate how many minutes).
while about 30 seconds to complete.
Once bootstrapping is done, you'll get a and you should see the Collapse OS
prompt. That's a full Forth interpreter. You can have fun right now.
However, that multi-minutes boot is kinda annoying. Moreover, that bootstrap
code being in source form takes precious space from our 8K ROM. We already have
our compiled dictionary in memory. All we need to have a instant-booting Forth
is to combine our stage1 with our compiled dict in memory, after some
relinking.
