[net.lang.forth] OPS-5 sa question ???

One thing I did when working on a forth project under UNIX was to define
a word "new_forth":

: new_forth
  fork if
    wait drop ." Parent" CR
  else
    ." Child" CR
  then ;

Where fork and wait have their usual meanings (people with my UNIX variant of
John James' FIG-forth might want to try this... it's useful). What I'd do would
be to load a bunch of stuff, new_forth, then load a bunch more. This also
protected me from crashes (much more common in FORTH). Wouldn't it be possible
to do much the same thing in OPS-5?
