- Dont let the disk get full when you use diet.
-
- I had entered in (cut and paste) an entire Manual pbk for mini-FORTH,
- and dieted the file (manually). I think the disk was full at that time,

- I guess that was what had happened, I realised only the next time I turned
- the machine on, I saw about 20K free, when only 1K should have been.
