Be careful however. The Jonesforth implementations of 
many words are different from the amforth versions. So
do not expect to understand amforth from jonesforth 
sources ;=)

A prominent example is the difference between variable and
constant: in amforth there is no runtime difference, variables
are slightly customized constants at definition time.
