Re: Words in Gforth manual undefined

I discovered that some words documented in the Gforth manual, like MAX-U

installations of Gforth 0.7.3.

Is there something messed up with my installations, or is there
something else (Forth command, installation, Gforth upgrade) to make
such words/wordsets available in my Gforth environment?

The manual you are using is not the one for the Gforth version you are
using.

You can find the manual for Gforth-0.7 on
<https://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/gforth/Docs-html/>.

Alternatively, you can install a recent snapshot using one of the
methods mentioned on <https://gforth.org/>.

If you want to use the words mentioned above, the latter course is the
one you want to take.  Note that the "environment wordset" means that
the name is intended to be used with "ENVIRONEMENT?", and MAX-U is
already present in gforth-0.7:
