SMC shouldn't need writeback unless it needs those buffers to be maintained, though, right?

True, but there's no way to communicate that back to the shell.

Do you modify any of the data buffers you put in the program? That counts as "SMC" as far as the fact that you're modifying things within the program space.
No I don't. And I can prove it with the fact that zStart doesn't perform any writeback on my programs.

You still can restore their initial state. For example, if every byte was at 0 at the beginning, you set them all back to 0 before leaving ;)

Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

I moved the topic to TI-BASIC language (Other Calc-Related Projects and Ideas is for projects and ideas :P), but I'm not entirely sure what language this is for, so if you want me to move it again just ask.
