Subject: How do you lock lower case permanently, and more memory confusion

The 48SX says to lock lower case do alpha <-| alpha, and then when you lock
the alpha keyboard, you will get lower case.  This works fine, except that
when I lock alpha again, I'm back to upper case.  How do I get it to always
be lower case whenever I lock alpha?

Also, to go back to an old question, how do I free up ALL unused memory.
I KNOW that MEM does garbage collection, and I KNOW that LASTARG, LASTSTACK,
and LASTCMD use some memory, but I am referring to memory used by the
graphics applications, and I believe PICT in particular.  For example,
if I do an ON-C, and turn off the 3 LAST.. commands memntioned above, MEM
shows I have 9099.5 bytes free.  Now if I run a program that uses the PICT
(I have one that displays the earth rotating on its axis) and terminate
its execution, and now I do a MEM, I show 8011.5 bytes free, over 1K less.
===================  Late Breaking News Flash!!  =========================
Bob Martin, in a fit of stupidity, suddenly discovers "PICT PURGE", and how,
after its execution, all memory is again free to be accessed!!
==========================================================================
Sure enough, after I do a PICT PURGE, MEM shows 9099.5 bytes free again
(of course, after I also purge PPAR).  So all is well on question #2.

However, if anybody has an answer for question #1, please let me know.

Thanks!
