It lacks the words to save an executable file out of the current version.

That is not the end of the world as you develop the words when they are 
working you enter them into a file which on the start of SwiftForth you 
can pass the file name as part of the command line an it will load it up 
and you can continue developing from that point with all your debugged 
works loaded.
