   Are working directory relative file names mentionned in the standard?   
   Naive stand:   
       If you can type a file name from where you stand (working directory)   
       you can INCLUDE it.   
       If they are not, they must not appear in benchmarks.   
      
       This is what I mean:

       ..   
       INCLUDE junk/hellow.frt   
       hw   
       "Goodbye, cruel world!"   
       OK

   If you start up a Forth by clicking on it in the file browser,   
   assuming this is a reasonable action, a section is to   
   be devoted in the documentation to explain what is supposed   
   to happen.
