Well, it actually is a big program which creates a few
but big lists of text strings. These lists are initially
cleared with 'a-list: copy []'. Is there a better way?
I thought that this would clear any old values and free
that memory.
Maybe I should do like Sunanda suggested in a previous
email.
Could I use 'context' for this purpose?
