Subject: Dim absolute:
 
With respect to the "dim absolute" instruction,how does one
choose a "safe" segment to use for the "AT" part?
For example,If i say "dim absolute scrn(319,199) as byte at &ha000" then i
will get an absolute array that overlays the video buffer.Thats cool, but
what if i *just* want to store lots of data?I know people must use
this a lot,but i dont know how ya could know what segments are "safe" to
use.
 
                  Thanks,
