Many thanks! I installed pforth by cloning its from githup
repo. No docs in there. Where did you find the docs please?
TIA ..

The source file is here:

Don't know if automatically included or whether you need to do it
yourself.

Got it - thx! I need to get used to "the lay of the land" so to
speak. Anyway, pforth does not have an `edit' word built in. I
like the way swiftforth launches your default editor when calling
`edit <filename>' ! Thx again ...
