   You need to specify a THROW code, you need to specify a flag and you need to   
   specify a message.

   For ABORT" the string is suppressed and only the code (-2) is left.   
   Is that what THROW" does with the string?   
      
   AFAIK on most forth systems exceptions generate either an error code or an   
   error message (the latter via ABORT" or caught code).  In short, what good   
   is having both a msg and a code?
