In some examples I saw the flushmem command but it doesn't work anymore(or did it a while back?)
So could somenone tell me it replacement or wanth should i do?

FlushMem
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/FlushMem It's automated. If you have an example with Flushmem then simply remove it.
GCCollect()
Garbage collection is now automatic, so you can safely delete (or comment out) any FushMem commands.
If you really feel the need to force a collection, you can use GCCollect instead.

In fact, if you're working with external libraries which also maintain some kind of reference count, you may well HAVE to use GCCollect. Either that or miss out on any chance to automatically clean up the external objects.
EDIT: Actually, that's not strictly true. You could wrap the external ref-counting as well, but there's an overhead.
What examples are these? I have searched all the examples distributed with the current version of BlitzMax and can not find any remainding FlushMem commands.
What about the CodeArcs? Maybe there are some in there. Haven't looked though.
The full NeHe archive still has flushmem doesnt it?
Yes, it would be cool to have the NeHe TuTs fully working.
The nehe stuff does not work at all without some rewrite.
It was written with BM 1.12 ... the module structure changed since then (will be the first thing you get spotted as the gl module it tries to import does not exist anymore).
