This is so simple even a non-Forth programmer like me knows the answer. 
The restriction of not altering the string makes it possible for the 
string to be in non-volatile memory.  :)

Yes, your code is written with a certain mindset which precludes a lot 
of systems.

That would be compatible with the ANS standard.  Any you thought you 
couldn't write ANS compatible code, didn't you?

My god!  You live in a sheltered world.  Lots of languages support the 
quote character in quote delimited strings.  I can't think of one that 
doesn't, but that's not saying a lot coming from a rank novice.

So why do you have such a hard time understanding simple specifications 
that even a rank novice such as myself can figure out?
