Aha, thanks.  Similarly 8.3.2 for DPANS94.  Oddly, in gforth, "123.45"
pushes 12345 0.  I can understand "123." is a number (123) followed by a
decimal point, but I'd expect the 45 to either be invalid or another
number, giving 123 0 45.

There is a USER variable, DPL, that tracks the Location of the Decimal
Point.
The intention can therefore be reconstructed.
