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

Thanks for setting me straight. I see I was misreading the manual on
MAX-U, and that it is available in 0.7.3 if used correctly.

I tried installing the 0.7.9 snapshot and now u/ is available as
described.

The only thing that still mystifies me is why a seemingly basic word
like u/ wasn't added until so recently.
