Shifting the operation to the stack (assuming that's even viable) strikes

In this instance, I was using Forth as a scientific calculator that I could easily show the data input, algorithm, and output results in a reproducible and sharable fashion.
I stumbled upon the "Average of a list" thread from last month and took advantage of the discussion to get the knowledgeable c.l.f denizens to whittle down my naive code to its essentials and learn fish for myself a bit better in the future. Many thanks you and all who take the time to teach or opine.
