After adding new_var the MAIN_RAM.IRX file would look like this:

; MAIN_RAM.IRX
;
; Start of memory for MAIN module is defined in
; include”..\ram\ram.irx”
;****************************************************************
; General purpose variables

6.4.4 Common Problems
Since the location and size of a variable depends on a previously declared
variable, it is possible to misspell a variable and end up with one or more
variables starting at the wrong address. Therefore, it is worthwhile checking
the MAIN.LST file and searching for RAMSTART_CUSTOMER, to ensure that
all the customer variables are at the proper address.
Also, when modifying MAIN_RAM.IRX or any of the module RAM.IRX files, it
is a good idea to build the project, rather than doing a make.
