I think to myself something like this:
ok I see how the stack is this little conveyor belt, so ordering things is not a problem.  Then I write works to slice and dice the results into what I want.
I wonder to myself ok so say I had to sort 1000 numbers...what would I do?
The immediate solution comes to mind that I would somehow compare 2, and put them in order smaller bigger, and then place the next number above or below ... or some such algorithm... hmm  .. I guess forth has arrays which I have not gotten to yet, but as forth works through the list of 1000 numbers it places the next number in the right place....  safe to say forth is quite different than shell or tcl I am most used to and lisp as well.
