[AppBasic] DrawScript memory problems and other questions

Hello all DrawScripters,

When running a DrawScript program in a task window I sometimes get, 
immediately, a DrawScript error window saying "0K has not been enough 
memory for drawfile. Select OK to configure Dbox."

Going to the Configure window, there is 26208K in Next, 751840K in Free 
and 8100K in Screen memory. I can't find any advice for these settings in 
the html manual or StrongHelp manual; but they are a lot larger than those 
shown in the picture of this window in the html manual, except for the 
Screen setting in "Drawfile memory configuration" which is a greyed-out 
256 in the manual and a greyed out 0 in my settings. However, I haven't 
been able to alter the latter.

It seems that if I run one of my DrawScript programs in a fresh Task 
Window, I don't get the above error from DrawScript; but, if I go on to 
run a second DrawScript program from the same Task Window, then I get the 
error.

A, possibly related, issue is that I am trying and getting text output to 
the Task window as well as 2 draw files from the program. Could there be 
problems with a DrawScript program that has both a text output and draw 
file outputs?
