LOCATE depends on the current directory

[ruv]

When Gforth is started from the binary that is located in the git repository working directory (project root), but the current directory is not the project root — locate and edit don't work properly. Namely, locate doesn't show context in the source file, and edit doesn't open the proper source file.

Changing the current directory via set-dir also affects these words.

Yes, this is likely a wontfix. You are supposed to use make install to generate binaries with absolute paths.
