   .SH OPTIONS
   
   .BI "\-\-image\-file " "file"
   .TQ "\-i " "file"
   Loads the Forth image
   .I file
   instead of the default \fCgforth.fi\fR.
   .TP
   .BI "\-\-path " "path"
   .TQ "\-p " "path"
   Uses
   .I path
   for searching the image file and Forth source code
   files instead of the default in the environment variable
   \fCGFORTHPATH\fR
   or the path specified at installation time (typically
   \fC/usr/local/lib/gforth:.\fR. 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). In this case
   the unit specifier
   \fCe\fR
   refers to floating point numbers.
   .TP
   .BI "\-\-locals\-stack\-size " "size"
   .TQ "\-l " "size"
   Allocate
   .I size
   space for the locals stack instead of using the
   default specified in the image (typically 16K).
   
   .TP
   .BI "\-\-evaluate " "forth"
   .TQ "\-e " "forth"
   Evaluates the
   .I forth
   code. 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. This is an
   image-specific option.
