Heh, we both need to spend some quality time with the BASIC-09 manual,
it seems. :-)

Yeah, I just meant that programs grow, and without resorting to
complicated tricks (unmapping modules, etc) eventually data-space has
to shrink to allow code-space to grow.

A Multivue interface is perhaps a bad example of creeping featurism,
but it's the one that jumped into my head.  Actually, what annoys me
about Multivue coding isn't the size of the code, but the fussiness
and fragility of the program-gui interface.
