Dear Robert, I didn't know that going to the MENU and back automatically set the string space allottment to 256, but I see that is sure does. If you're in BASIC and CLEAR0 or CLEAR1000, the result is the same; when you go to the MENU, the system reclaims that space. Either way you see the same free memory. When you go back into BASIC, the 256 bytes are set aside. The "Bytes free" message when you first enter BASIC 256 less than the bytes free on the main menu. Thanks for the tip, Robert! CLEAR256,MAXRAM:NEW:MAXFILES=1:MENU can be simplified to: CLEAR,MAXRAM:NEW:MAXFILES=1:MENU right? or are we still being silly?! -- Tracy
