	Try using GOMF. It isa commercial package, but allows you to do
much more than any PD program I have seen. You can use a utility that comes
with it called "NUKE" or "RECALL" (I forget which) to selectively remove
tasks AND their screens. Of course, and memory that the program allocated,
that is not a screen, can't be freed, and locks can't be freed (but you can use
the PD program "locks" to do that), but overall you do get vack a large
portion of the memory. Especially if the program was large itself.
