   Indeed, surprisingly, but every Forth made in the Netherlands   
   apparently has at least (D.R) that was already present in figForth or   
   an equivalent to (D.).   
   In my experience those words that leave a string and doesnot TYPE immediately   
   are pretty essential. The fact that #> may refer to a static buffer   
   cannot be concealed anyway.
