User Variable creation and deletion - Bob Frazee - 12-26-2013 04:51 PM
I created the following user variable in the home screen:
YOU:={1,2,3}
"YOU" shows up in the memory manager as a list and has 1,2,3 in it.
I then attempted to delete it using the "purge()" command.
Defn:
purge(Var) Unassigns a variable name. User manual P-409
Purge(YOU) ---> "No such variable YOU"
Am I missing something?

Hi,
if you want to delete "YOU", you have to go to the memory manager, select User Variables (by a double clic), now you have to scroll down the list until you find "YOU", then select it and choose suppr. in the menu bar.
You have got a memory manager without any usefull command to manage memory ! ( **** Where is my 28s !)
Regards,
Damien.

purge() is for CAS variables only. The only way to delete variables created from the home view is via the memory browser (for now)

Thanks for answer. I didn't catch in the manual that the purge() command was only for the CAS system.
