Dear colleagues,
	Here's a short question to test how many of you have actually kept
all of your old Amigados 1.3 manuals:
	
	What's the command (or sequence of commands) to allocate more memory 
	to basic?

	Yes, I know I shouldn't be bothering with basic in this day and age,
but I don't have C and I just want to write a simple, quick and dirty progam
to solve a sweepstakes puzzle.  Prompt replies will be greatly appreciated.  
Thanks in advance.

						Sincerely,

						Maurice

P.S.:  I can't just look in my manual because it's back in L.A..  Not only
       that, but most Amiga stores (at least the ones I know of) have stopped
       carrying that manual.  : (

	Do you mean "CLEAR"?  As in:  CLEAR [,basicData] [,stack]

	E.g. CLEAR
	     CLEAR, 20000
	     CLEAR, , 2000
	     CLEAR,20000,2000

(This is from the initial v. 1.1 AmigaBasic notebook.)
