RE: *UNREF

Seems like a silly option to have when *UNREF should be the default.  Why allocate something if it is never referenced?

Just tells the compiler to not leave any variable in memory that are not be used. If I defined a variable named Variable1 but did not use it it still would have storage allocated to even though it was never referenced. With *UNREF, no storage is allocated.
