Term for feature that abstracts RPN program location?

[mfleming]

I suppose in the high level language world you'd refer to the latter style as Procedural or Functional. Compare BASIC with a GOSUB 20000 vs. SQRT(X) in something like Fortran. You could define the square root function separately, move it around in the card deck, put it in a separate library and still use it in your program.

A rough analogy...
