Is floating point actually included?  The example in section 13.7 of
the manual comes back as undefined:

1.234 FCONSTANT CON1 is undefined
1.234 FCONSTANT CON1
     ^

Direct evaluation of integers works:
1 2 + . 3  ok

No so with floating point:
1.1 2.2 + . is undefined
1.1 2.2 + .
   ^

But, then, I have been working with Forth for about 5 minutes...
