That might be the first thing to look at. In later Pygmy versions the
opening screen gives you a list of open block files, with the starting
blocks at 1000 unit intervals.

You can open one of those files with the editor (like 165 EDIT ) and
then the F9 key will let you add blocks to the file. It won't
interfere with the next file if you wind up with less than 1001
blocks.

If you have 1000 blocks with 1k bytes each, that's a megabyte which is
big enough for your immediate needs without any compression at all.
