Value returned: an integer representing the free space, in bytes, in HyperCard’s memory stack

The memory that HyperCard can use is divided into two parts—the heap and the stack. HeapSpace returns the amount of memory that’s available in the heap portion. StackSpace returns the amount that’s available in the stack portion.

The memory in HyperCard’s stack determines, for example, the number of times you can call a recursive handler.
