	I have heard that there is a bug in ARexx that causes it to
allocate memory for code that is grouped by a name, like a subroutine, and
not free it up until you exit the macro. This was told to me by several
people writing "doors" for BBS's entirely in ARexx.
	Is there any way in ARexx to tell it to free up the memory it has
allocated while the program is running? This is NOT variables, as the person
has tried blanking them out aftwards and got no memory back.
	If you have heard anything about this, I would be happy to forward it
to the person who ishaving these problems....
