Yeah, my problem in particular was your use of a number of unknown-to- 
me words combined with a lack of inline stack diagrams. Starting with,  
Leo Brodie doesn't cover ?do, just do. It might've manipulated the  
stack, who knows. The `grep -r ": ?do" forth/` hit in OpenBIOS wasn't  
too helpful, and Google doesn't distinguish between "do" and "?do" so  
you get too many unrelated "do" hits. I got along by hoping it doesn't  
place anything on the stack. Similar issues for <# etc., still no clue  
there but it works.
Do you happen to know a suitable reference for looking up the meaning  
of such words?

Mind to explain your 0.r choice of name? What's the r for?
