*kicking and throwing things*

The tutorial for pforth https://www.softsynth.com/pforth/pf_tut.php#:~:text=if%20you%20want%20to%20find%20the%20ascii%20value%20for%20any%20character says if you want an ASCII constant you write: CHAR A

I want to print an A. I write CHAR A EMIT. I get:

A ? - unrecognized word!
INCLUDE error on line #18 , level = 1
CHAR A EMIT
^^^^^^

I write CHAR 'A' EMIT. This works. The documentation lies! The documentation lies!!

I'm getting unexpected results for .S. Wait, what results do I expect? Like ABORT, PFORTH DOCUMENTS .S EXISTS, BUT NOT WHAT IT DOES.
