   In ciforth the only restriction is that a word fits in the input   
   buffer. In the context of nroff it makes no sense to use REFILL.   
   There is no REFILL in the ciforth kernel.   
   QUIT itself cuts the input into lines, without copying:   
   `` REMAINDER   2@ ^J $/ '' giving a string variable ( addr len ).   
   If you parse yourself for e.g nroff you don't need to do that.   
   Even in the MSDOS version you can parse files where restricted   
   only in the length of a word (64 chars).   
   I consider the ^J / ^M as blank space.
