stupidly i didnt see that there was a paste function in the familybasic emulator by TAKEDA, toshiya. anyway now i have a problem with dimensional arrays. if i try and add more than 63 dimensional strings, it gives me a ov error. its not running out of memory but i think its not using all the extra ram for variables. is there a way around this? like moving the ramtop or basic allocation space, etc? say, with a poke? ive noticed that if there is no program in the memory, this problem doesnt happen
