Re: Contiguous memory and the *INKx indicators

Doug,

I understand that in the case of allowing -both- letters and numbers in
values.  Would be a shame to confuse 'oh' with 'zero' or 'one' with 'el'
or 'two' with 'zee' or 'five' with 'ess' or 'six' with 'gee' etc.  Come
to think of it, why even bother having a mixed set.  It's either letters
or numbers.

But the Kx indicators are not mixed, there are ALL letters.  So, why
drop KO?
