Description

return the execution token of the following name. This word is _not_ immediate and may not do what you expect in compile-mode. See ['] and '> - note that in FIG-forth the word of the same name had returned the PFA (not the CFA) and was immediate/smart, so beware when porting forth-code from FIG-forth to ANSI-forth.
