I see no other place to implement it. If amforth sees these instructions
it will abort.

Yes.

there are two buffers: usart receive buffer (16 characters long) and the
forth TIB (80 characters). Only the characters in the TIB had echos
back to the serial line (except some control characters). The usart
buffer keeps the "unread" characters that wait for the next execution
of key. I'm not fully satisfied with it but it works "good enough",
at least for me....

That's impossible ;=)
