I made a dogs dinner out of it.

Now try
    ctags --language=forth *.frt
The extension fth is recognized automatically.

creating a file tags

And now start gvim
    gvim coins1.frt

Select a word by double clicking, select the tools tab and the first entry.
e.g. cut-off-denomination
(Or use g^] )

You see where this word is defined. If it is defined several times you
can select and you are in that file, pronto!
In this case it was defined also coins.frt.

I have discovered it while fooling around with edwin editor, that has
a key programmed (^Nh) that does the same.

I thought it was not well known.
