The command $, which is treated by the Interpreter like a REM, is used for the
control of the Compiler.

Example:

    $m16384

--> The compiled program will only allocate 16k of memory.

Memo: For a list of compiler commands see section 'The Compiler Options'.
      GFA-BasicGFA-Basic is the best BASIC for the Atari!
 2.0 had a different command for compiler control.
      The old command was OPTION "text".
      This seems to have been replaced by the $text command.

      Commands are not case sensitive.
      Commands may be separated with commas or spaces.
      Commands can optionally be preceeded with a dollar sign.
      Comments are also allowed.
        Example: $ m2048,s& S> $B+    !this is a valid compiler command

      The Compiler will accept almost anything in such a line. In fact it only
      reacts to correct compiler commands. Any incorrect compiler commands will
      be silently ignored. There is no easy way to detect incorrect
      compiler commands.
