01-helloworld.f produces errors due to comments (using ( ) or \ ) not being parsed as comments

Hi,

I'm a newbie to Forth but I'm blown away by its simplicity and power.

I've been playing around with a sectorforth image and entering some samples, and one thing that seems to be missing from the sectorforth.asm code is parsing of code comments using ( ) or . These comments are extensively used in 01-helloworld.f, but they produce errors if entered as-is.

I didn't compile the sectorforth image I am playing with (I'm using https://copy.sh/v86/?profile=sectorforth) but looking through the sectorforth.asm code I can't see anything that deals with comment blocks with ( ) or inline comments using \

Is there a later version of sectorforth.asm, or something I'm missing?

Thanks!
