Thanks, Joe.
If you look at the docs for CHAR: (
> http://docs.factorcode.org/content/word-CHAR__colon__%2Csyntax.html
> ), it says CHAR: takes a literal character, an escape code, or a
> Unicode character name. «CHAR: space» is using the Unicode character
> name for the space character. The Unicode character data is read from
> basis/unicode/data/UnicodeData.txt when the Unicode library is compiled.

I had thought that almost every word was compiled by source that I'd find in
the USING: clause ( or recursively up). Is this how the UnicodeData.txt is
loaded? I tried calling space itself in listener, to no avail, now I see
CHAR: space works, which I didn't think of as possible unless it could
interpret 'space' itself. "space" name>char-hook of course answers that.
I'll keep infix notation in mind in the future.

Again, archived newsgroups. I may even have seen something like: «FROM:
alien.c-types => short ;» and thought it was some usage of << >> rather
than a quotation device

Am favorably impressed with combinators, although they many of them aren't
easy yet.
The only typo I've found so far is in the IRC info, for which I was a noob,
but
"irc.ui" run from
http://concatenative.org/wiki/view/Concatenative%20IRC%20channel
fails for the precompiled image I'm using.
