I don't get it --- how do you examine the state after the BYE has been done? How do you look at what TEST left on the stack, or what global variables it set? What if you have more than one version of TEST to try out?

I don't do a BYE and restart the Forth system unless I have some reason to believe that the Forth system has become corrupted (such as by a pointer in my program that got set wrong and caused the Forth system memory to get overwritten).
