The exe is written in the current working directory when the PROGRAM
command is executed. You may determine what this is by the command PWD
which prints the working directory.

You may also control where the exe is placed by specifying a path
in the program statement, for example

PROGRAM \MYPATH\FOO\DEEPER\BAR.EXE

however, the path name may not contain spaces, since swiftforth is
forth and uses blanks for parsing. If you really want a path with
blanks, you may use

TURNKEY-TOOLS +ORDER

S" C:\MY LONG PATHNAME WITH BLANKS\SUBDIR\APP.EXE" (PROGRAM)

but I find the syntax ugly
