Where is there a write-up of the internals of fig-Forth?  In particular
I want to know the exact structure of the dictionary and of the variables
connected with it (here, latest, context, current).  The things whose
structure I don't fully understand are "vocabulary" words and defining words.
I have the fig model listing but it's tough to sort things out without
a global description of the structure.

Any help would be appreciated.
