OK, my fault in part; I used WordPad instead of NotePad and the file,
extracted as you describe (starting with the first curly bracket, ending
just before the SFTALK Copyright discussion box) was saved as a Word
document instead of a text document. I discovered this by using my old
standby XyWrite to look for hidden characters and found the file contained
no characters. So I saved it again, this time as straight text, and this is
what I got.

(including file D:\SwiftForth\Src\Samples\Clicks3.f)

At line 104 in file D:\SWIFTFORTH\SRC\SAMPLES\CLICKS3.F
   CLASSNAME APPLICATION-CALLBACK DefaultClass DROP ;

Am I not in the right vocabulary?
