A path is given as a +.BR : -separated +list. +.TP +.BI "\-\-dictionary\-size " "size" +.TQ "\-m " "size" +Allocate +.I size +space for the Forth dictionary space instead of +using the default specified in the image (typically 256K). The +.I size +specification consists of an integer and a unit (e.g., \fC4M\fR). +The unit can be one of \fCb\fR (bytes), +\fCe\fR (element size, in this case Cells), +\fCk\fR (kilobytes), and +\fCM\fR (Megabytes). If no unit is specified, +\fCe\fR is used. +.TP +.BI "\-\-data\-stack\-size " "size" +.TQ "\-d " "size" +Allocate +.I size +space for the data stack instead of using the +default specified in the image (typically 16K). +.TP +.BI "\-\-return\-stack\-size " "size" +.TQ "\-r " "size" +Allocate +.I size +space for the return stack instead of using the +default specified in the image (typically 16K). +.TP +.BI "\-\-fp\-stack\-size " "size" +.TQ "\-f " "size" +Allocate +.I size +space for the floating point stack instead of +using the default specified in the image (typically 16K).

This option takes only one argument; if you want to evaluate +more Forth words, you have to quote them or use several \fC-e\fRs. To +exit after processing the command line (instead of entering +interactive mode) append \fC-e bye\fR to the command line.
