Mike,
     A few days ago you mentioned a bug in shell+ that causes it to grab 8k for
every processs it spawns.  Well, to check it out I started up mvcanvas under
the original shell+ 2.1, changed $130f to 00, then started a second mvcanvas. 
PMap shows the same amount of memory being used by each process.  What am I
missing here?
    Do I understand correctly that malloc() will grab memory until the 64k
process space is used, irrespective of whether I specify the full shot of
memory, either at link time or by the #XXk command line option?
    Thanks for your time,
         tom n
