Wait...  We don't have to make a variable, just find some free space.  All we
have to to is make the user make a blank string variable that is the size of
the biggest program on his/her calc uncompressed.  We do an RST 10 or whatever,
and write there, call the program.  Then, maybe overwrite it with zeros.

                              The nice thing about Windows is that it does

marvin@mars.superlink.net               box and lets you press 'OK' first.
