	The quickest way would be to create a file with a type of INIT
(call it Expand Sysheap) and have it be empty except for a sysz 0 resource
with the contents equal to the amount of memory you want to add.  (This
assumes that INIT 31 doesn't check for INIT resources before expanding the 
sys heap.  I haven't checked.  If it does, add an INIT 0 which is just an 
RTS (4E75).)
