Right. An earlier message had me confused on the matter:

Seem having the top of stack as the flag would change the programming
style. I don't know how dramatically, or if it is an improvement or
regression.

For example:

test drop if ... ; then ... ;

would change to:

test if drop ... ; then drop ... ;

Of course you would want to avoid this situation in the first place.

I guess the pentium colorForth not strictly an extention of machine
forth, but I wonder the advantages of each.
