I'm _trying_ to use Multifinder with just 1 meg. All I want to do
is have Word 3.01 and Kermit running at the same time. However,
Kermit demands this obscenely high (~384K) memory buffer; whenever
I check, the program is using only around a quarter of this buffer,
so I don't think this much is needed. With this configuration, I
cannot open Word and Kermit at the same time.
Question: what to do? Can simpleton users control the memory
buffer sizes?
Apology: I think this question's been answered before. I admit
I'm a total buffoon for asking again, so don't bother calling me
one in a flamage.
cheers, from

If you're running under Multifinder, there should be a text box under the comment box to allow changing the actual memory size. Just try it, it's obvious when you see it. Note that there's no guarantee that an application will still run after changing the size, and I'd probably do it only when well backed up. Also, I believe the default size is 384K if the application has no SIZE resource. This could be what you're seeing. -- Brian L.
