In my experience it's rare for a program to need such a word, so (for me) your former method is fine and doesn't waste a word. The 'handy hint' Brodie suggests in Starting Forth (1st ed. p137) is shorter than ABORT and is exactly the one I use to this day - so much so it has become automatic. I couldn't use Forth without it :)
