Ref 1.01

Banks which are loaded or created with Reserve As Data or Reserve As Chip Data are saved with
your AMOS source code. The =Length command will return the length of these banks.
When you compile the banks are also added to the executable. However they are padding to have
an even length. This isn't mentioned in the documentation and gives problems when =length is used
in your program to read/write a certain position in your memorybank.
