	Unless your program is very heavily recursive, or has routines
that declare huge amounts of local storage, the default 16K stack allocation
is probably sufficient.

	Most programs will like 256K of zone, perhaps more; it depends very
heavily on what the program is doing.

	When configuring the SIZE resource, the number you give it should
be the sum of the stack and zone sizes.
