Not the intended audience I guess. I wonder whether one can use this to learn Forth. The free-to-evaulate Forth SwiftForth has a Starting Forth book. Can there be something like a tutorial like that. Those comments does not run here (and SwiftForth is 32 bit not running on my Mac Arm BookAir 15.

e.g. if you try https://www.forth.com/starting-forth/11-forth-compiler-defin...

```

    (: VARIABLE ( -- ) CREATE 0 , ;

    word not found: VARIABLE

    word not found: --

    word not found: CREATE

    word not found: ,

   )
```

This is not ANSI Forth? And one cannot just start to use like any Forth?
