Well, Gerry Jackson's test had a little problem ;-).  While Gforth didn't 
have a LOCATE until recently, we choose to follow Chuck's early Forth in 
syntax and semantics, when we finally implemented LOCATE.

However, IIRC, the editor commands lived in a special editor vocabulary, 
and only L was visible by default, switching to the editor vocabulary 
when used.  That way, all those one-letter editor words like I (insert) 
did not collide with normal Forth words.

In SwiftForth, B and N are globally visible, though.
