"#!" starts a comment (until the end of the line) in Gforth, and that's there in order to allow Gforth scripts. This means that you have to put a space after #! (allegedly there is at least one Unix variant that checks for "#! /", so the space is a good idea anyway). For a .fs script, no additional flags are necessary. If you call bla.fs arg1 arg2 and bla.fs starts with #! /usr/bin/gforth this is equivalent /usr/bin/gforth bla.fs arg1 arg2 which is probably what you want. You can put *one* additional argument (e.g., a flag) on the #! line; e.g., if you have the following in bla.fs: #! /usr/bin/gforth --die-on-signal then the call abive is equivalent to /usr/bin/gforth --die-on-signal bla.fs arg1 arg2 - anton
