# 0.3 Deep stack manipulators

No, there are no manipulators that can dig deeper into the stack. A stack is NOT an array! So if there are some Forth-83 users out there, I can only tell you: learn Forth the proper way. Programs that have so many items on the stack are just badly written. Leo Brody agrees with me.

If you are in 'deep' trouble you can always use the returnstack manipulators. Check out that section.
