A few questions about the workbench:

1)  I have noticed that after I remove certain diskettes from either df0: or
df1: occationally the icon for that diskette remains on the workbench screen.
Why?  (At first I thought it was because I had opened a file or program from
that diskette, and left it open when I removed the disk -- this is not the 
case now.  I have tried leaving a file open, and it does leave the icon on the
screen, but sometimes after I have closed all of the files from a disk, the 
icon still remains behind.)

2)  I have noticed that when I run almost any program from the workbench, the
ram monitor on the menu bar of the workbench screen seems to lose some of the
memory that I had before the program began execution.  What gives?  On a 
related note, I have also noticed that if I open the RAM: device, part of the
missing memory comes back.  (Not all, but usually 10K or so.)
