Ah, Thanks Dave!
I am used to those being called simply "Little languages" after the
famous Jon Bently ACM article that introduced the concept.

DSL especially confused me because we had an in-house language
called that, but it wasn't available outside so I didn't see
how the OP could be using it :-)
Ah, Jon Bentley (notice the extra 'e'). I should dig out my *Pearls
books, and have a trip down memory lane. I bet 95% of those are still
useful, even if they refer to much earlier versions of language(s).
I also should find myself a modern Forth system, and see how that's
evolved over time. Years ago I was an observer on the ANSI Forth
standard, as well as newsletter editor for the local FIG.
