Bob, Another suggestion: To make easy adjustments of application memory allocation in your compiled program, get a copy of VersionEdit 2.0 at the URL below. You can get a rough estimate of RAM usage in the compiled app by lanunching it, going to the "About..." menu in Finder and examining the status bars. The 4000K default is overkill for small utility programs that many of us write in FB.
