We had TAGS support for Emacs and tags support for vi for a very long time.  
Since this has advantages over LOCATE (see Anton's explanation of the 
features), we didn't feel the need to add LOCATE or VIEW.  bigForth had VIEW 
from beginning, and with the built-in editor it had all the advantages of 
the TAGS-based system in Emacs.  I didn't want to implement a built-in 
editor in Gforth ;-).
