Kevin,

I do have MMap and PMap, but this my first real forage into the heavy duty,
behind the scenes OS9 works so I've been getting "slightly" confused and
disoriented of late :-).  I read in The Complete Rainbow Guide to OS9 that OS9
Level II needs 64K for the operating system (pg 10).  Does this mean that even
if OS9Boot needs only 32K of memory, an additional 32K is still put aside by
the OS?  Are the Boot, OS9P1, and REL part of OS9P2 or are they already in the
system (ROM)?  I've been doing my calculations assuming that they are part of
OS9P2 and take up part of OS9Boot's 32K.  If they are not merged in with OS9P2
then they take up a separate 8K block.  Or do they each take up a separate 8K
block (which comes to 24K).  Even if thats the case, I'm still short 24K
somewhere.  Shell+ is already linked in memory so Term should just take up an
additional 8K for the term-window itself.

I'll try using MMap and PMap again and see if I can get this figured out down
to the BYTE (yeah, right).

Thanks,

Dave
