I posted this question on GEnie about a year ago when I got TOS 1.4 put
in my 1040ST.  One of the ST wizards (one of the CodeHeads or one of the
Double-Click boys, I don't remember for sure) came up with the answer:

***********************************************************************
* Trick LOGO by loading a RAM disk first (such as SI_RAM which is an  *
* accessory), then load LOGO, then remove the RAM disk.  The memory is*
* freed up and LOGO will then successfully load/save programs & files.*
***********************************************************************

Apparently, LOGO under TOS 1.4 uses (or at least thinks that it uses)
all available memory when it loads. I haven't programmed in years but I
would think it would be a simple matter to patch LOGO to correct this. 
(HINT, HINT to Atari.  Or better yet, why not release an updated version
of Logo to take advantage of the new machines? :-)
