Unfortunately PicForth doesn't yet support an umbilical mode so 
'interactive' only interacts with the compiler not the target. You can 
compile a word and then disassemble it to see what code was generated, 
but you can't compile a word then interactively run it to see if it 
works as expected on the target.

I don't know what 'host picquit' is supposed to do. Try just running
"gforth-0.6.2 picforth.fs" on the command line. Gforth will go into 
interactive mode with the compiler loaded. You can define Picforth words 
and use the include command to load libraries etc. then run commands 
like 'words' 'map' and 'dis' to see what code has been generated.
