Ah, yes, all is clear now. The words in the instance part of the definition
(after DOES>) are TARGET-executable words, and the target doesn't include
CREATE, that's an INTERPRETER-only word. This whole concept will have
trouble in the SwiftX environment, where compiling is done on the host.
It's probably possible to jigger the scopes to make it work (look at some of
the examples in the SwiftX Reference Manual), but it'll really be easier to
use the Open Firmware version, which has none of these problems.

Cheers,
Elizabeth
