Any undefined names are checked with anchorsearch
against the alphabetical encoded-system-name table.
First prefix match gets returned, and executed if
executable.
a = abs
ad = add
mu = mul
pr = print
g = ge
f = file

Consolidated and optimized (a little).
Works with "load" undefined errors as well as executable.

Clean-ed up a bit, with some brief exposition.

Optimized up a bit. Replaced linear-lookup error handler
with a constructed dictionary.
