system.
In future, I plan to also implement a more complete numerical tower to bring it closer to
The goal is for the interpreter to be complete enough to be used to complete
the majority of the exercises found in [SICP](http://sarabander.github.io/sicp/).
+Running the interpreter
+=======================
+
+To run this Scheme interpreter, first open Julia from the src directory contained
+in this repository. If you've not done so already, install forth.jl using the
+following command:
+
+ julia> Pkg.clone("https://github.com/tgvaughan/forth.jl")
+
+Then, import and run the Forth system:
+
+ julia> import forth
+ julia> forth.run()
+ Welcome to forth.jl!
+
+Once Forth is running, execute the Scheme source and fire up the
+REPL using the following commands:
+
+ include scheme.4th ok
+ scheme repl
+ Welcome to scheme.forth.jl!
+ Use Ctrl-D to exit.
+
+ >
+
+At this point you can start entering Scheme commands. For example,
+
+ > (define (factorial n)
+ (if (= n 0)
+ 1
+ (* n (factorial (- n 1)))))
+ ; ok
+ > (factorial 5)
+ ; 120
