Recycle - Function Summary


Summary:

Recycles unused memory.

Usage:

recycle

Refinements:

/off - The off refinement.

/on - The on refinement.

/torture - Temporary internal feature

Description:

This function will force a garbage collection of unused words and values found in memory. This function is not required or recommened for most scripts because the system does it automatically as necessary.

To disable garbage collection, you can specify /off refinement.

To enable it again, use /on:


    recycle/on

Note that recently used values may not be immediately garbage collected, even though they are no longer being referenced by your program.
