CLEAR command

[TerryRitchie]

May I ask you @bartok why you are using the CLEAR command?

The CLEAR command made sense back in the BASIC-80 days:

CLEAR stringspace, memory, stacksize

Then GWBASIC dropped the need to allocate string space (it was actually BASIC-80 version 5):

CLEAR , memory, stacksize  (this is why this is the only BASIC command that has a parameter list that starts with a comma)

Then QuickBasic dropped the need for memory allocation:

CLEAR , , stacksize

and now QB64(PE) has dropped the parameters all together:

CLEAR , ignored, ignored

The CLEAR statement is included to maintain compatibility with GWBASIC and QuickBasic. The other "features" of CLEAR could/should be handled using QB64PE code instead.
