So,

I was sitting down to hack on some basic code (
https://www.reddit.com/r/retrobattlestations/comments/4qs0f3/july_is_basic_month_the_challenge_turtle_graphics/)
and typed in a quick basic statement to verify that Tandy 102 basic has
bitwise operators (it seems to). The command was something like "print c
and 2" or something stupid like that. To my surprise, my 102 reset itself.
All my files were gone (backed up, so no real loss) but now the menu is
showing 21446 bytes free. Some gremlin has stolen 8k of my RAM!

I'm so perplexed by this, I just opened up my 102 to visually verify is has
32k (indeed, all 4 RAM chips installed - although 1 is a different chip
than the other 3). I've let the system sit for >1 hour with memory switch
off and power removed. No change.

What on earth could have happened?

Last clue I have is that I re-loaded FILSIZ.BA and when I run it, I get OV
error on line 9.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
