I pretty much have one cblock per bank and I'm used to very low
level management of RAM, so I'm unlikely to get bitten by this,
but you're right, it's important that it be said.

I haven't tried that, yet, but it might be a good thing to play
with before long. Once I get out of the 2K word devices, I may
have actual need for it. As it is, my code compiles faster than
PikDev can refresh the window, so there would be little benefit--
unless there is something special about relocatable code that
isn't obvious.
Thank you for the advice, Craig.
Cheers,
David
