    I am trying to find a definitive list of all the word in swiftforth and a description of their meaning, the documentation covers the bulk but
    definitely not all, for example, counter & ucounter I cant find anywhere.

    I am looking for something like the gforth manual where every word is
    listed and explained.

    Any ideas anyone ?

    Doesn't exist unless you make one. SwiftForth system source often has the documentation you want. I assume you've set up your editor so that when
    you type (or click) EDIT <wordname> in SF it pulls the requisite file into
    your editor so it can be viewed.

    That's a shame, I like to browse through and learn obscure words but
    without a definitive list I wont know what I am missing :)

    I have set up the edit word to open Pulsar editor, and it works well.
    Thank you for your help.

    PS Think I have now got the hang of using the newsgroup app now.
