I jokingly referred to a Forth "premium" mode before. Non-jokingly, this is called "compiled" mode. Inside a function is "compiled"; outside is "interpreted". Apparently running CHAR in compiled mode puts the number 82 on the stack. Why? I don't know. That's ASCII "R". I don't get it. Then 'A' *separately* puts 64 (ASCII A) on the stack.

@unlambda also found the solution here: I need to say `[CHAR] A`. The brackets mean "use the interpreted-mode version, not the compiled-mode version". (1/2)
