memory you have used and how much remains. (You may also press the
space bar to cycle through similar maps of EEPROM program memory.)
Two important points to remember about this map are, 1) it only indicates
how your program will be downloaded to the BASIC Stamp; it does not
"read" the BASIC Stamp's memory, and 2) fixed variables like B3 and W1
and any aliases do not show up on the memory map as memory used. The
editor ignores fixed variables when it arranges automatically allocated
variables in memory. Remember, fixed and allocated variables can
overlap.
