Basic Windows

Thanks. I labelled my window too, but it didn't help <grin> I was using a
type/mode of 18, cause I don't want to resize. The manual says that if you
specify a mode of 16-31 and also set sizeable then basic will have to reserve
enough memory to hold the bitmap of a full screen window, in case you ever
size it to be full-screen. I didn't make the window sizeable and it was
still giving me that message. But I'll try again. I have noticed that this
basic seems to devour little morsels of memory as I have been playing with
this window thing. By printing FRE(-1) all the time after opening and
closing windows and screens maybe 30 or more times you can lose as much as
30K or more of RAM! This is not my idea of how a language should work,
although it is probably the fault of the memory management in the OS. I
still think there should have been hardware memory management in the Amiga
from the beginning.
