I have 4.25 megs but ProTerm only gives me 2730K of scrollback and a 45K editor. I'm not complaining (who would ever use up 2,800,000 bytes of scrollback in one sitting anyway?) but I could never figure out why ProTerm didn't recognize all my RAM. There is still about 530K it isn't using. -- Brian T.

Well for starters, /RAM drives takes off whatever you have allocated for it, and if you're launching from GS/OS, you're going to lose the space allocated for it along with any fonts and da's that you have loaded into memory. If you have some soundsmith song going, thats going to hack off some memory too. It just depeneds on how big your O/S is. - Hal | Hal Bouma | Send mail to: SHBoum@Macalstr.edu | | Macalester College, St. Paul, MN. | and SHBoum@Macalstr.Bitnet | | Coming this fall for the //GS: NBA! | GEnie : H.BOUMA |

I would also like to second the observation that ProTerm only uses up to 2730K of Scrollback in my 4.25 meg GS. Brendan G. Hoar bh1e+@andrew.cmu.edu Apartment 1 Carnegie Mellon, Inc. 357 Melwood Ave. Pittsburgh, PA 15213 (412) 621-8278

Oh, and another comment about the ProTERM 2.2 SB limit. It is 2730K whether or not GS/OS is loaded first. Brendan G. Hoar bh1e+@andrew.cmu.edu Apartment 1 Carnegie Mellon, Inc. 357 Melwood Ave. Pittsburgh, PA 15213 (412) 621-8278
