The problem is that you jumped out of an IF..THEN..ELSE..ENDIF. structure
with a GOTO. That's not allowed in (almost) any programming language. When
it happens in TI-BASIC, the program will eventually run out of memory, as
yours did. Just restructure the program so it works differently. For
example, a GOTO statement is valid with a single IF statement, without an
IF..THEN..ENDIF structure.

 << File: test.83p >> I just got my 83 a couple days ago and love it. I am
just starting to learn
how to program in basic. I wrote a simple program that displays a moving
"-" sign in the upper left corner. As the program runs, it slows down and i
get a "memory error". What's going on? I included a copy of the program.
