more precise methods tend to be more effective:

There is no need to include debug.fs, because it is already included
in the Gforth image (the many "redefined" messages indicate this).
This single-stepping debugger works only with gforth-itc, as
documented in

https://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/gforth/Docs-html/Singlestep-Debugger.html

BTW, in my experience a stepping debugger is usually a waste of time,
and more precise methods tend to be more effective:

Debugging - Gforth Manual

However, the stepping debugger may be useful to understand how Forth
steps through the program.
