Hi,

Robert,
Yes, the 16F727 has its program memory divided into four pages so I can see it making a difference on that one. But still, I'm not cyet onvinced that having them "first" is what actually helps, I believe it's more like where they (the subroutines that is) are relative to where the calls TO them are. I mean, calling subroutines in page 0 from Main in page 1 should be no different from calling subroutines in page 1 from Main in page 0....it needs to switch page in both cases.

Darrel or anyone - are you listening? Care to share some details?

Art,
If that interpreted BASIC, whichever it is, really works like that it kind of sucks - big time IMO.
As for the rest, you're now talking about RAM and not program memory.

/Henrik.
