Agreed, but the fact remains that non-trivial BF programs tend to be extremely large (just generating the constant "100" requires a 26-command program), and furthermore extremely slow. For these two reasons and several others, I think that the HP-71B, with its faster processing, large RAM, larger display, and good string-handling functions, would be far more suited to the task, specially using FORTH.
Of course, this has nothing to do with your original request for an specific 41C/CV/CX version, it's just some rambling of mine ...
Best regards.
