I tried M1:=MAKEMAT(0,320,240)

I imagined this would be 320x240 = 76,800 bytes for 8 bit numbers, maybe 76,800 x 5 for larger numbers. What is the initial expectation for the type of numbers in a Matrix?

The per-element memory use is 8 bytes (for real matrices); there’s also a little bit of fixed per-matrix overhead (for matrix dimensions, type, etc.). Matrices hold floating-point values (of the same floating-point arithmetic as the built-in variables).
