I never saw the FORTH RTS, but that is pretty cool. I'm absolutely sure
there must be a way to switch to another RTS from the FORTH RTS as well.
You'll just have to search documentation, experiment, search for strings
in the binary, and other creative things.
Tried something like "SWITCH DCL"? :-)

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
