That's odd. Yes, when I build a kernel ( which is actually a complete Forth-83 system minus the editor and assembler ) there are a few things to take care of after the last word is compiled. Fleet Forth's metacompiler has a word, FINISH , to take care of that and another word, START , to initialize the metacompiler.
