The Glossary
RetroForth has many words that you can use in your programs. Many of them will be familiar to those who already know another Forth, but some will be quite new. This section attempts to provide a relatively up-to-date overview of all the words.
Please be aware that a current copy of the glossary is provided with all releases of RetroForth 8. Since releases occur more rapidly than updates to the Handbook, you should review the glossary.txt file for the most accurate list of words and their uses.
Each entry has a format like:
wordname
A brief description of the word
Takes:
Returns:
Some optional notes about the word
