   Holy cow! Thank you! That did the trick. I'm old hat with CP/M and software   
   development but brand new to FORTH, and DX-FORTH. I couldn't find any   
   documentation on using CTRL-K prior to CTRL-U.   
      
   You've made my day, and perhaps someone else will find this thread useful one   
   day.
