Question for 41CL users - Monte Dalrymple - 07-26-2016 05:27 PM
Back in the very beginning I reserved several mnemonics (XXXA-XXXF) and locations in Flash for user's custom images. This was before I wrote the functions that allow anyone to add an IMDB entry, or even thought of doing it. But the Flash is getting full, and the functions to edit the IMDB are there, so what do users think about my using those spaces in Flash for new images and getting rid of the XXXA-XXXF mnemonics? You can still add your own custom mnemonics, and place your custom images anywhere you want...

I've never used those general-purpose mnemonics, really never needed to given the other means at hand to manage the IMDB and flash space.

If I understand correctly, the general-purpose mnemonics (as Angel named them) are sort of redundant/obsolet since the advent of the IMDB functions and to sacrifice them just would mean to give up a fixed reserved location in Flash for custom Images? If so, the decision is whether to trade some "Flash-structure" for new Images ... Even though most probably I won't need either functionality very soon, I'm undecided really ...
