As I was reading Frank's message I was trying to picture the programming
language do the deeds of an OS :-)

Hogg's trumpeting of Flex was also very prominent in Bill Sias's "Color
Computer News" publication; this was before the OS9 Level 1 release by Radio
Shack, back when the first CoCo's started to sport the full 64k RAM
upgrades.
