I think your problem starts here, but I'm not sure which file(s) you edited.  Undo your edits, then try starting gforth from the command line and:
     include sock.fs             \   < --edit for file path
     include  tcpserver.fs   \              ditto.
If this works you'll get "ok" s.  I think Gforth is trying to interpret the file it was just loaded from (including the shebang).

Then look to the manual, info, "gforth --help",etc. to find the startup options you want.  Probably, "gforth -e " or "gforth -i" .  Then you can write your script file.
