Hi Hank,
Each character within double quotes of the debug statement eats three bytes of program memory. Counting the number of characters in that single line you posted makes for 70 characters or 210 bytes worth of program space.

The Debug statement itself seems to eat 52 bytes but it's a "one time deal" ie, it doesn't cost you 52 bytes each time you use DEBUG. (It might cost you a byte or two depending on where in the program they are placed.)

There may be ways around this (search for Strings in codespace) but if you just need "a couple" of more bytes then try to reduce the number of characters in your DEBUG statements.

If you do look at the Strings in codespace threads I'd be interested in what you come up with. I'm pretty much having the same issue but using ArrayWrite. The problem with Strings in codespace are they are strings (constants) and I haven't yet figured out how to mix them with numeric values "printed" with the DEC modifier etc.

/Henrik.
