You are right, that has to be fixed.

Maybe the "Forth Programmer's Handbook" is what you want, it is the  
de facto ANS Forth reference manual, regardless of which Forth  
implementation you use.
http://www.forth.com/forth/forth-books.html

Download a free copy of swiftForth evaluation version, the handbook  
is included as pdf file, a very fine piece of work. The ANS Forth  
Standard is included too.

The gforth user manual is a good reference as well.
