EXCH definition
jargon /eks'ch*/ or /eksch/ To exchange two things, each for the other; to swap places. If you point to two people sitting down and say "Exch!", you are asking them to trade places. EXCH, meaning EXCHange, was originally the name of a
PDP-10 instruction that exchanged the contents of a
register and a memory location.
Many newer hackers are probably thinking instead of the
PostScript exchange operator (which is usually written in lowercase).
