Others have described how they do it from within the Forth system.  My
usual way of working is different:

I have an editor window and a shell window.  In the shell window, I
have my command line for running the Forth system, loading the Forth
program(s) and possibly test definitions, running a test, and possibly leaving the Forth system, e.g.:

gforth program.fs test.fs -e "3 4 test bye"

After a run, I look at the output, edit the program and/or tests
and/or the command line and run it again.  The fact that the shell has
a command-line history is very helpful for this.

If I want to examine the state after the test interactively, I leave
the BYE away and then do the examining and maybe additional testing
interactively.
