First, Roland, please turn off the MIME stuff when posting

I'll jump in on this one. I think !+ means store at the address
on the stack and leave an incremented address. So the stack comment
would be: ( x addr -- addr+CELLsize). This is the Forth equivalent
of the C statement: *p++ = x;

Maybe it would be better named !++ ;-)
