Hi,

In RSTS V10.1-L (and possibly others) there is a runtime monitor called FORTH.4TH Fig-Forth v2.0+. If it is installed as a monitor via:
install /runtime_system
Run-time System: UNSUPP$:FORTH

and set as monitor via:
set job/key=forth

It responds as would a forth REPL:

FIG-FORTH V2.0+

88 88 * .
7744  ok

: SQUARE DUP * ;
 ok
25 SQUARE .
625  ok

But so far as I can tell, there's no way to switch back to DCL or any other monitor type. I know that I can kill the job from another session (or believe this to be the case), but I was hoping someone would know how to exit the Forth monitor.

typing quit, exit, bye (restarts the Forth loop), CTRL-C, X, Z, etc don't seem to have the desired effect and the PF keys or F keys don't seem to be known to forth. I know this questions is a little sideways of being on topic, but maybe there's a key or mapping that I don't know about in SimH for Forth envionments.

Anyone?

Thanks,

Will
