That version of MVP FORTH takes a very different approach to blocks.
Other versions go directly to the disk, while that version uses
block files (a standard operating system file is a sequence of 1024 byte
blocks).  Give MVP a call (415) 961-4103, there's a little packet
of stuff for the Amiga -- including a glossary.  I don't remember
how much it costs, but just ask.
p.s.
Blame me or thank me, as the case may be, for doing that version using
blocks files.
