Fixed. Thank you. > > 2. It is confusing, having set the baud rate in preamble.inc, to > suggest in the included template.asm file that the baud rate is set > there.

In fact these settings are completely application driven, so these parameters belong to the application, IMHO. Furthermore the file preamble.inc is part of the core system, that no application should ever change. Only the core admins (that is I) should do changes here. Application developers should closely follow what happens to the examples and especially the template application and adapt theirs accordingly. Which leads to the next section > > 3.

I remember a settings dialog in the AVR studio that configures the include directories for the assembler. This order is somewhat sensitive. *If* you want to keep in touch with the development of amforth, I strongly discourage copying the files into one directory. There are many pitfalls, which I am not able to solve.
