print the name-field pointed to by the nfa-argument. a synonym for .NAME - but this word is more portable due its heritage from fig-forth.
in fig-forth the name-field is effectivly a bstring with some flags, so the nfa's count has to be masked out, e.g.
: .NAME COUNT 32 AND TYPE ;
in other pfe configurations, the name might not contain the flags it it just a counted string - and there may be even more possibility.
: .NAME COUNT TYPE ;
you should more and more convert your code to use the sequence NAME>STRING TYPE
