No I wouldn't say that, to use ANS Forth terminology, your program would 
have an 'environmental dependency'. But don't be ticked off in future if 
MPE decide to be more strict and release a version of VFX Forth that 
doesn't permit ticking semicolon - they have every right to do so.

I never said that, I merely pointed out a couple of lines in the 
standard that had evidently escaped your eagle eyes.
