Overview

This returns the cross product C=AxB in the stack in the order x,y,z. Keep in mind that you are prompted for the components of both vectors out of order, so the form <A,B,C>x<D,E,F> should be considered when it prompts you. This uses only 28.5 of resource available. It would be great to see an even shorter one here sometime! Maybe after I get my manual and understand more indepth commands.
