I often can't understand it either.

 
https://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/gforth/Docs-html/OS-command-line-arguments.html

It says version 7.0, it might or might not be the latest version.

Joel Rees is on track,  s>number? is the key for you. Here is
something I got to work:

\ usage:  gforth argtest.fs  -e "34333" -e bye
\ this file name is argtest.fs
variable  ararg
: getvarnumbers
    arg  2dup s>number?  if  drop  ararg ! ." I got a variable!  " ararg @ .
                   else 2drop type
                   then cr
                   ;

0 dup .  getvarnumbers
1 dup .  getvarnumbers
2 dup .  getvarnumbers
3 dup .  getvarnumbers
4 dup .  getvarnumbers

ararg @ dup * . ." See? It works! " cr

\ try it like this:

  gforth argtest.fs  -e "34333" -e bye
