 HS/Forth was one of the first to offer access to memory outside the 
 traditional 64K segment.  It uses @L, C@L, MOVEL, $.L, etc. for those 
 operations, and it uses ( segment offset -- ) conventions.  Many of the 
 extensions for F83 that make use of extended segments are either by, or 
 based on the work of, Bill Beers, who at the time was an HS/Forth user,
 and specifically modelled those words on the HS/Forth conventions.  
 So by all means, keep doing it @L.
