Introduction

PF11 comprises over 350 built-in Forth words. This glossary is intended to help the user look at these words in various groupings and to quickly jump to the ANS Forth Specification section describing the standard words.

Each Forth word is documented with several attributes:

• The word name
• The location where the word is defined, either as an internal primitive or as a *.FT file (in the system/ subdirectory) which defines the word in terms of existing words and primitives.
• The language category of the word (e.g., flow control, math, etc.)
• The ANS Forth word set that the word belongs to (if any)

All PF11 words can be seen as a single group, sorted by word name.

PF11 words can be seen sorted by language category.

PF11 words can be seen sorted by ANS Forth word set.

Finally, PF11 words can be seen sorted by source location.
