If I run the following lines from the command window, the amount of available memory stays the same

MyExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
MyExcel.WorkBooks.Add()
MyExcel.ActiveSheet.PageSetup.CenterHeader = "MY HEADER "
MyExcel.ActiveWorkBook.Close(.F.)
release MyExcel

But if I put these lines into a prg and run it, the available memory decreases every time.

Even more: if I run the program without the 3rd line (pagesetup.centerhead...), it works fine again. What am I missing there?
