I had to split this up into two pieces. The first part shows how a disk in FIG-FORTH is divided into screens. Each screen is 1024 bytes long, and is split as 16 lines of 64 characters a piece, making for convienient page size editing pieces.

Screens can be used for code, data, or virtual memory, basically anything you might want.

If a screen contains code, you have to use the LOAD word, to load it into the FORTH system so you can use them.

Here, I show some screens, how they are split up, and how to load screens into memory so you can use the words on them.
