     These are two very important pieces, but it is also vital that you are
 able to MANAGE your memory variables and space.  Releasing variables is good
 if you do not require the use of them again.               

     In addition to the above commands, I recommend placing the DISPLAY MEMORY
 command in your program somewhere before your program bombs.  This command is
 very useful for managing memory.  Review the output and rid your memory of the
 variables you do not require.  If you require the variable later, use the SAVE
 and RESTORE commands, otherwise RELEASE will do the trick.  Once you have the
 variables under control, remove the DISPLAY MEMORY line from your program.
