It should error out then because not enough space to add to the file system. If the file system grew so much that a low clear wouldn't work, there is a question of whether BASIC would refuse the CLEAR command. But the solution would be, delete TS-DOS after loading the CO into RAM file system, but before doing the CLEAR. > when himem is not set correctly, ... a .CO program beeps, of course, on > failed start up. > Yes. BTW, why do you document a clear at 55,000 rather than at what TOP is set to a few hundred bytes higher?
