Immediate/Compile Time Execution for

[Kevin]

So, when tha apply button is invoked the routines/interpreter that builds the "tokens" has no parse directives?  Are there no #if style constructs?  I guess some documentation on specifically how the compile/tokenization process occurs would be helpful.   Is the metacard/transcript compiler using the TIL concept of words?  Doese metacard/transcript  have a header segment or dicrionary that is accessible?  So each of the words/handlers have a IMMEDIATE bit or identifier?  I understand these are rather "under the hood" questions I just fiqure that they would be in the documentation.
