Is the debug option set.  The TV library is compiled without debugging,
but when you have debugging set, all classes (there are quite a few), data
and your code is given debug info.  Considering thatg TV is a fairly 
extensive (though by no means exhaustive) Text GUI library, that is a
lot of debug info.

The project I'm working on has an executable size of just under 640K,
with debug info included.  But only ~200K without debug info.  This
causes a slight annoyance. If I want to do debugging I need to
put debug info in only the areas I'm interested in. I can not use
the debug menu option, since that applies to all files.
