[Coco] A question about the BASIC statement CLEAR

  I'm working on some assembly code that interfaces with BASIC (as part of a
larger project), but the documentation I have for CLEAR isn't clear.  The
quick reference card states:

	CLEAR n,h
	... h specifies highest BASIC address.

_Getting Started with Color BASIC_ states:

	CLEAR

	... If you are loading a machine language program, you can use a
	second number to specify the highest address BASIC can use.

but it isn't clear to me if BASIC will use memory UPTO this address, or use
THIS address.  Do I need to set it one lower than the address I'm using?
Or to mark the start of memory I'm using.
