 Until their is some consensus on the stack effect of " I have been 
 using *" ...."  as the word that returns the address of the counted 
 string.  This is a word in Dan Phillips' N-Forth.  What I have found is 
 there are no left over uses for  a " that returns an address and the 
 length.  Maybe an artifact of the applications I work on?  I doubt it 
 from the comments I have heard from others, but I'm still listening.
