Memory must be allocated using New() and released in a particular order or disastrous results are likely to be achieved. The implementation of new should be user-transparent and it is not. Apple Pascal does not keep an available list of free memory for new-just as the they do not dynamically allocate strings-another weakness. I still like the implementation, however. Ben Priest
