You provide the library ID you want to clear. It only clears the data associated with the given library, does not uninstall the library. This is in case you need to "factory reset" a library if you messed up the settings badly. It also cleans up if the library leaves data stored after you detach it. The system does not delete library private data when you detach it, since you might want to attach it back later and keep using it, so to completely clean uninstall you need to DETACH and LIBCLEAR the same library ID.

Correct, I could never find any practical use for libraries attached to directories, so newRPL attaches libraries to the system, not to any particular directory. They become part of the system just as much as any built-in library.


LIBSTO and LIBRCL look fun.

Oh, and the RS-hold-menu key thing to get the library ID doesn't seem to be working.

Can you email me your entire source directory? I need to build your library with the debugger on to see what's going wrong with those names.

The RS-hold-menu key works in Algebraic mode only. Similar to the variables menu, where RS means RCL, using RS will RCL the library itself, but if you put the quotes to go into A mode, RS will put the variable name (in this case library ID) on the command line.
