I don't think you can blame AMOS for this, basicaly the programs isn't
that demanding with memory anyway. But if you'd like to cut on memory-
usage there's a few ways:
Put as much as you can in banks
(Menus, AMAL, Interface, Data-lines, etc..)
Put as much as you can in external files, and load them into banks when
needed, the remove them when not needed...
(Graphics, Music and things like this..)
Put a display of the 'Free' variable somewhere in your program, and then
begin to reduce the 'Set Buffer' value until you don't have more variable
room that needed..
Reduce the 'Stack' with 'Set Stack'..
