It means that binkley is staying resident in RAM while the BBS is loaded and 
ran. Change BBS Spawn  to  BBS Batch  in binkley.cfg.
 PM> respond to "DOBBS" when SpawnBBS is the command in Binkley.cfg and there

Using the Spawn method, binkley calls spawnbbs.bat, so the rest is not 
relevant. 
 PM> I'm, currently, strictly DOS.  No multi-tasking at all on my system.
Try OS/2. Warp 3 runs fair on only 8 meg, MUCH better with 16 or more. And 
you can spawn the BBS without worrying about the heap size too. See next 
message.
