Really?

Well, I'm on a 'standard' A500 and through the wonders of multitasking I just
popped to my shell and did that, and lo and behold, it works.  Gee, I think I'll
try out "snap", here goes:

WB 1.3:> avail                               
Type  Available    In-Use   Maximum   Largest
chip     316200    207032    523232    304896
fast       2056    514832    516888       608
total    318256    721864   1040120    304896
WB 1.3>  
 
 Nifty.
