Thank you Jeremy,

As I recall it with the C64, once the underlying SuperBase was loaded, you
were left with only about 4k of programming space!

Yet the SuperBase provided a quite advanced report writer, real WYSIWYG,
those guys must have been geniuses.

We had to "chain" link all the programming code, so the stringExecute (or
whatever the actual name of it was), was really essential!
