>>There is no way to DELETE variables within programs. But, you can reduce the amount of space taken up by certain types of variables (ie lists, matricies, vectors, and strings) the following commands work for their respective variable types: :dimL 0 ->list name ?(don't have guidebook with me) -lists :dim 0,0 ->matrixname ? - matricies :dimL 0 ->vectorname ?? - vectors :""->stringname - string<< Ahh but it would take even less memory to do this: ""->S S->Any other kind of variable. That is store a empty string into a one letter variable and then store that one letter variable into all of your other variables. The reason this would be better is because a one letter empty string variable takes up 7 bytes while a one letter real variable takes up fifteen and the other variables take up at least that or more. Just have your programs do this step right before they quit and we can all save some memory. Brent Deverman Shadow Software Internet: shdwsoftwr@aol.com America Online: ShdwSoftwr
