Wow, none of FORTH, Inc.'s systems have SP@ etc., as we really 
discourage direct manipulation of stack pointers. Of course, they all 
have a multitasker already. I really don't think adding a multitasker is 
something you should expect to be able to do portably, as I don't see 
how you can possibly build an efficient one in high level.

Cheers,
