Hello Roger;

> The interpreter works as expected.

As the author of the interpreter, that statement is a tautology.  I 
prefer useful statements myself.

Another statement, from 
http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/dicti.htm, states:

    indirect locative abc__xy refers to abc in the locale whose name is 
the current value of xy.

The statement could use the caveat that xy must be a boxed character list.
