Would it be possible in the future (V3.0?), to only allocate as many buffers as will fit in memory, and if this is less than the recommended minimum, put up a dialog box with "Hypercard would like more memory. It will run in the current configuration, but be prepared for slower card switching..." For me, having a slower Hypercard AND a word processor open, is better than having JUST Hypercard. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Evan Torrie.
