Is there a way to get the name of a Forth word from within the word
itself?

For example, I have a forth word called test:

: test ( -- n )
\ need counted string of the word "test" from within here
0
10 0 do I + loop ;

I need to get the counted string of the calling word (in this case
"test") from within the word where indicated.

If I am not being clear, let me know and I will get another coffee and
try again.

- Roger
