 "0BRANCH" is a function word that implements execution conditional by
 means of optionally adding the subsequent branch offset, or not, to
-the point of execution. If the value, is 0 then the branch offset is
-added, and otherwise execution continues with the cell following the
-branch offset in the definition.

+is added, and otherwise execution continues with the cell following
+the branch offset in the definition.
 
+Note that the branch offset is a byte count and each FORTH word of a
+definition take up a cell of 8 bytes. The offset is relative to the
+cell address immediately subsequent to the offset cell. In other
+words, offset 0 is not branching anywhere and an offset of -16 would
+make a tight loop back to the branch instruction itself. The latter
+would pull data stack values until and including the first non-zero
+value.
