Here's a little item that may be of interest, which is not documented in
the (error)
messages section of the manuals. Try  this:

STYPE

\<< TYPE 263 + DOERR \>>

In case you see an object, and you  don't recognize what it is, you can
run
this program on the object, and it will tell you what it is.

eg. if you find this on the stack after CHIP:

<0h>

STYPE will tell you that it is a System Binary

from this you can deduce that an object of
type 20 =	System Binary (called shorts by some) 
type 21	=	Long Real
type 22	=	Long Complex
type 23 = 	Linked Array
type 24	=	Character
type 25 =	Code
type 26 =	Library Data
type 27 =	External

of these object types, has anyone actually seen types 21,22,23,24 or 26
on the stack?
