There are *always* composites in the runstream;
the topmost level in the entire system is called
StartupProc, which in turn calls a "System Outer Loop"
that waits for each keystroke and then acts on it,
which in turn calls various other system functions
(each itself a composite), eventually calling
some program of yours, which is also a composite
(every "program object" [type 8] is a composite, in fact),
which in turn contains words calling built-in commands,
which themselves are composites, etc. etc. etc.

Just the usual "wheels within wheels,"
which everyone is always reinventing :)
