Thanks, Bernd; it probably will. I received two copies of your reply - perhaps ezmlm actually got confused by my unnecessary attempt to (re)subscribe.

bigFORTH uses a module system. Each module has several anonymous definitions
which are executed at startup. Example:

---------------hello.fs----------------------
module hello

: hello ." Hello World!" cr ;

main: hello bye ;

module;

savesystem hello
----------------------------------------------

bigforth hello.fs -e bye

will generate a 'hello' program which outputs  "Hello World!" and terminates.

Hope that helps.
