     That's strange, since loading Workbench (LoadWB) consumes about 40K,
much of it CHIP RAM.  Of course, if you LoadWB, then try to run a program
from the CLI you'll use more memory than if you launched it directly from
the Workbench.  But if you are tight on memory you can conserve by not
loading the Workbench at all.  You'll get a default CLI window from which
you can run your program.
