Number of CONSTANT definitions in STARTUP

Number of CONSTANT definitions in STARTUP

The number is shown in the Trio BASIC Help for CONSTANT.


CONSTANT are set globally and are available to all the BASIC programs.

There is a local constant definition called DEFCONST.  When that is set in a program it is known to that program alone.  You can of course use DEFCONST in an INCLUDE program and re-use it accross many programs.
