   I'd forgotten FigForth had that.  Standard Forth doesn't say   
   either way.  At worst not changing BASE only affects display of   
   line numbers (serving as a reminder of what BASE you're in!)   
      
   More often than not I'm using L (aka SCR @ LIST) to see where   
   the error was, or EDIT without a parameter for the same reason.   
   Similarly 1 LOAD (what I do 99% of the time) always works.   
   I've often thought of defining GO to do just that.
