(It would probably even be hard to categorize what's an "output" of a Prolog statement.) But yes, now that you mention it, there's a number of languages probably as popular as FORTH that do this. (I expect I'd class LOTOS, which is kind of a calculus of rendezvous, as maybe returning multiple values as well.) Thanks for correcting me! -- Darren New San Diego, CA, USA (PST).
