I think it's better to put it in the dictionary, which is the usual
place to put large memory objects. The stack is for immediate
calculations and you should usually know the exact stack picture.
From
http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/gforth/Docs-html/Invoking-Gforth.html :
--dictionary-size size
-m size
Allocate size space for the Forth dictionary space instead of
using the default specified in the image (typically 256K). The
size specification for this and subsequent options consists of an
integer and a unit (e.g., 4M). The unit can be one of b (bytes), e
(element size, in this case Cells), k (kilobytes), M (Megabytes),
G (Gigabytes), and T (Terabytes). If no unit is specified, e is
used.
I think this says the default setting is 256K cells: 1MB or 2MB
depending on the machine word size. But you can make it much larger.
