I thought it was necessary for GPRINT but now I see (when I open my eyes!)
that it works from CDEF or DEF.

1k = 1024b doesn't it?

Personally I think its better to keep the code a bit bigger for the sake of
the over used word 'readability'.  Also, it would be easier to re-use if 56k
was a variable in some sort of script, to change it once in the code rather
than every occurence, in which case you may miss 560.  But thats just my
opinion!  Thanks for your corrections, I'm usually a bit lyxdesic with my
code!!
