NEW

Statement/Command

NEW clears the BASIC memory area (the area as far as RAMTOP) removing any program currently in this part of memory.

How to use NEW

NEW is normally used as a direct command but may form a statement in a program. It is used alone. On execution, the program and variables are deleted. The memory is cleared as far as RAMTOP so that user-defined graphics characters, which are stored above RAMTOP, are not affected.
