 JP> You and I both, that leaves Bruce.

I got to wondering...

What is swapped is the BW reader's EXE program. 

I swapped to a Ramdrive:

Directories
Swap Directory     P:\TMP\

Today's hard drives are so fast that you could make this: 

Swap Directory     C:\BWAVE\SWAP\

Read the Help sections on "swapping," then check "Yes"
on XMS memory. 
BW wouldn't use the Swap Directory unless it had a problem with XMS 
memory. 

The message editor I use is large enough (DOS WordStar) that I need 
to swap. It has its' own spell checker / small dictionary. 

I use Windows, like the old DOSSHELL, to swap to any other program.
