 I got the pc-forth and the metacompiler rev levels confused.
 The HEX problem arose in the following form:
   : ABORT
        S0 @ SP!
        HEX
        STATE OFF
        MAIN ;
 Where MAIN is my system's endless loop.   After compiling and
 blowing a prom, NOTHING worked.  The system was totally lost, in an
 embedded controller aplication with NO emulator.
  I subsequently went back to the application and recompiled with the
 base in ABORT left in decimal and individually selected HEX where
 needed, and the thing worked just fine.  If you have the answer, it
 would help my curiosity, but probably won't make me change my code
 again.     Thank you, Paul N. Price  c/o Decom Systems, Inc.
 Sorry about the delay, but I've been in Germany doing a system 
 installation........ (160,000 lines of FORTH on a 68010)
