Sorry John, quite right.  

It's *derived* from the example in the manual.  My bad.

I'm not sure that FANOUT is the problem though:   Here's a version without
it:

'pipe (end ?)',                          
   '?i: faninany',                        
   '|    console',                        
   '|    locate \'termstring'\',          
   '|    take 1',                        
   '|g:  gate strict',                    
   '?    starmsg',                        
   '|g:',                                
   '|i:',
