If you mean "EXIT THEN" then yes :)

I've had END for about 10 years ago and it's been used a lot.  Moore
realized most use of 'ELSE' was in fact redundant - why branch to the
end of a definition when one can simply EXIT?  While 'EXIT THEN' has
been around forever and one sees it used occasionally, it's a bit of
a mouthful.  I chose the name 'END' as a) it fits and b) it hadn't
been used in forth since the mid/late 70's.  END was the original
name for UNTIL .
