Subj: LOADING PROGRAMS

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to load a long program into basic. I
use a Booster Pak with plenty of memory, however each workspace holds only
about  29K. Unless I'm missing something, the program must be in the workspace
in order to load it into basic...but the length of the program is taken away
from space  available in basic. For example, a 20K program leaves me 9K
available in basic.  I get an OM message before the program is half loaded!
I've been able to load in long programs tediously by using the SLICER program I
found in the library (
thanks John Gaudreault!) This requires breaking each program into tiny pieces  
and then cut/pasting each slice into basic, and then erasing each pasted slice
from the  workspace to free up the next chunk of memory. There must be an
easier way. Richard? Anybody? Marty Pekar
