No, iForth's FORTH-PROCESS is the classical PAUSE loop with the USER 
areas etc.. It works because *all* iForth I/O is non-blocking. As, 
for accuracy reasons, MS blocks, I had to cheat with the 
non-standard ~MS. As such, I met Arnold's challenge.

You know, I had to look up how FORTH-PROCESS works in the sources. 
How quickly I forget ...
