   Perhaps it's been updated since as the SwiftForth file I have has:   
      
   : DECIMAL ( -- )   $0A BASE ! ;   
      
   Closest thing to a BASE issue I've encountered was invoking the   
   screen editor while in HEX.  After doing that a few times I fixed   
   the editor!   
      
   Really annoying was LMI which on error switched to DECIMAL ...
