   I don't use PAD in multitasking/multithreaded applications, or even in   
   single-tasking applications. But only in interactive work, or for some   
   tests in the file loading time.   
      
   In SP-Forth/4, PAD is located in the user-area (per-task). But I don't   
   know examples of using it in different thread in parallel.
