CLEAR Close Files, Reset Variables, Set Stack Space
CLEAR [,,stack]
Closes all files, clears all COMMON variables, resets all numeric
variables to 0 and all string variables to null, releases all disk
buffers, resets the stack, and optionally specifies the size of the
stack.
stack Specifies, in bytes, the size of QuickBASIC's stack. The
default is 768 bytes; the minimum is 512 bytes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: CLEAR destroys pending return addresses left on the stack
by GOSUB, FOR/NEXT, and WHILE/WEND.
CLEAR does not affect symbolic constants.
QuickBASIC's CLEAR differs from the Interpreter's in two
ways:
1. The Interpreter's CLEAR statement destroys all DEF FN
and DEFtype statements. QB's does not.
2. The interpreter's default stack is 512 bytes. QB's is
768.
