How do u master with Sound Forge

I want to know if it is possible to master a song with Sonic Foundry Sound Forge 6.0. If possible can someone explain the steps please. thanks
Sound forge is more of a editing program. If you want to master your CD, try CD Architect. It's made by sony and it works along with sound forge, acid and all their other media software. Download the demo and see what you think.
 
The "steps" to mastering are basically the same no matter what you're using...

1) Listen to the mix(es) as with blank objectivity (this is why most people, M.E.'s included, come up short trying to master their own mixes)

2) Mentally and realistically visualize the potential in the mix

3) Assemble a processing chain (if needed) that will realize that potential

4) Tweak the mix(es) based on the chain

5) Sequence the mixes in a PQ editor, burn, log, and BLER test to insure RedBook compliancy.
