If the RISC OS 3.10 basic is unimproved, I'll be incredibly
annoyed. How many people have come across the problem where
*Basic -quit <filename> (ie double-click on a basic program)
doesn't in fact clear the variable space. This has the
delightful result that you can write code that accesses
variables that don't exist. Basic can find them somewhere
(with of course, totally screwy values), and your code will
run with garbage variables, and quite possibly crash (machine
code).

The only way to avoid this is to load and run the program
directly from basic, or to (as we have) set up Alt-click
on basic programs to *Basic -chain <filename>.

Blee.
