   Just press return unless you know you need to enter something.  The   
   "memory Size?" prompt is asking how much RAM you want to reserve for other   
   uses after BASIC has loaded.  You just told it to reserve the entire RAM,   
   more than is available to BASIC with DOS loaded.  For that matter, even in   
   Cassette BASIC, not much, if anything, would work with 48k reserved for   
   non-BASIC use.
