#59348 — word "program" in evaluation version of SwiftForth

I'm currently using the eval version of SwiftForth and playing around.
to build a new image with the word program is a striking feature.
but unfortunately once I have built a new image and running this
image, I can't build a subsequent image from the new one.
Is this a limitation of the eval version or a general rule ?

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.

Evaluation version OSX:
launch SF: PROGRAM SF1 -> launch SF1: PROGRAM SF2
launch SF2: PROGRAM SF3 -> Ad infinitum.

But you'll need to launch the turnkeyed SF from the correct
location, so it can find what it needs to do PROGRAM.

In my case I launch SF and consecutive SF's from within
SwiftForth/bin/osx

If I launch SFn from another location I get the
"Can't open file" error message when attempting
PROGRAM.
