It sounds async in the sense that a command is sent and the other device
replies some unpredictable time later.  Yeah I wouldn't write a
multitasker just for the sake of something like that, but if the Forth
you were using already had multitasking, it's just another approach you
could use.  Mostly just commenting on alternative ways to organize this
type of program.
