   11: \ 3)   Compatibility with low-level kForth words is maintained to allow 
   12: \        kForth code to be used under gforth, e.g. serial.fs, terminal.fs.
   13: \        Other driver interface examples from kForth should also
   14: \        work, e.g. the National Instruments GPIB interface nigpib.4th.
