-This command will remove one object from the top of the stack.
+The ''DROP'' command deletes the object on the top of the stack, shifting the remaining ones by one level.
+When the stack is in RPN mode ''DROP'' fills immediately the bottom-most level of the stack (level 4 or level 8, depending on the selected stack depth) with the value it stored before the shift happened.
