Right.. since strings are allocated memory, you should use KEYS whenever copying over one. This will free the old string before it assigns the new one. As for the second question, perms will never go down..Thus the name perms :) Memory in ROM is recycled to help speed up the allocation of blocks and even moreso to avoid fragmented memory.. When "freed", like happens with purge, the blocks will go into a pool to await re-use. If you purge a mob then load another, it will hopefully reuse the same perms for the second mob, assuming no areas reset or anything in the mean time. --Palrich.
