Pete,

I believe you're right about system memory hogishness. But I know so little
about Level Two that I'd be hard pressed to prove it. I do know that each
window (datamodule, descriptor, shell and whatever else is in play) takes up
about 16k. Of course, I made all the datamodules maximum size (for complete
screen refresh when jumping from one window to another). I can pare that down
when I finally figure out what I'm doing. I can also incorporate the whole mess
into the bootfile. That also may help.

But, now I have a new problem. Where did all my memory go? I used to have
plenty. Now, in my quest to run everything at once (grin) I'm as parched as the
Santa Barbara water supply. And Creative Micro Systems wants $495 for a 256K
(EXORbus) memory board (they still make Level One and Two OS9 computers - in
Los Alamitos). $2 per K is .. ah ... a LITTLE HIGH!!!! Give me a break!

Nevertheless, so far so good.

Thanks again. Pete.

Wendell
