Yes.

TK is an X toolkit, so it's certainly possible to see things through
TK that you don't see through xterm.  Its possible to write a Forth
that talks to X (e.g. xbigforth) instead of to a terminal (emulator),
but that would restrict Gforth to platforms supporting X, for not that
much benefit.  Of course, you could use the C interface to talk to
Xlib or one of the toolkit libraries that work with X (e.g., Tk).
