: Actually, I thought that the actual program space (ASCII space) was only 2kbytes... which is why this discussion was brought up. By linking the programs, you could get up to 16 kbytes of space to work with.

Oops. You're right. I couldn't remember how big each program slot was, so I quickly scanned the BASIC Stamp manual PDF file for the information. The first thing I came across was the number 65535 in the description of the DATA command (which defines data to be stored in EEPROM) and without thinking, converted to KBytes, and wrote 64KB. It turns out that 65535 is the largest data VALUE that can be STORED in EEPROM, and not the highest address available.

Let's not rest until all those nits are extirpated!
