Actually, every word parsed by LOAD automatically goes to SYSTEM/WORDS.

So since the console entry does an implicit load, 'C gets created just
by asking about it?

Actually, every word parsed by LOAD automatically goes to
SYSTEM/WORDS. Try the following code on a fresh REBOL:
print first system/words ; this is BIG!
to-word "undefined-word"
print first system/words
You will see undefined-word at the end of the printed block.
So, the side effect of this is that every word exists in the
global context.

Gabriele.
