Trying to use blocks in SwiftForth

Been happily using SwiftForth for a few months using files and include but 
would like to try blocks. Have been digging around the docs and AI but 
getting nowhere.

From what I understand I need to assign a file as my virtual block area 
(AI says OPEN-BLOCK but that word does not exist).

Can anyone advise ?



SwiftForth x64-Linux 4.1.3 20-Feb-2026 
  ok
REQUIRES blocks 

This file, if loaded as it was shipped, will obscure future use of the
Swoop operator USING.  If you need access to this feature of Swoop,
please rename the USING operation in this file.

Also note that the contents of this file, once loaded, cannot be
unloaded via EMPTY.  The dictionary space is protected with GILD.
