Release memory?

Hi all,

I've got a question about sequences. For instance, assume the following
code:

-----------------------------------
include file.e
object list
sequence file_list, entry

file_list = {}
list = dir("test.*")
if sequence(list) then
   for i = 1 to length(list) do
      entry = list[i]
      if not find('d', entry[D_ATTRIBUTES]) then
         file_list = append(file_list, entry[D_NAME])
      end if
   end for
   list = {}      -- ?
   entry = {}     -- ?
end if
? length(file_list)
-----------------------------------

If I don't use 'list' and 'entry' any more in the rest of the program,
is it a good idea to assign empty sequences to them in order to release
memory?

Thanks in advance,
   Juergen
