Dave - ok, the part about killing off shells, windows or other programs (last
first) to carve out some system map space for format is because:

OS9 uses up that system space for process and path descriptors, and window
device variables, etc.  Check your SMap, start a new shell, then check SMap
again.  Anywhere from two to four or more pages are used up for each new
process.

So.. by getting rid of the lastmost-setup devices/processes, you can sometimes
regain enough free system map space for the format buffer.
