Subject: How can you "give" an app >9999k under MultiFinder?

----------- 

My clients are doing some large image manipulation with Digital Darkroom on an
8 meg IIcx.  That turned out not to be enough memory (even when run with just
uni-Finder) for doing some rotations, etc.  Since they have a copy of A/UX 2.0,
I set it up (with help from Apple folk) so that they would have 16 megs
Multifinder memory.

OK, so far, so good.  But when I went into the "get info" box to give Digital
Darkroom, say, 12 megs MF memory partition, I can only type in a 4-digit
number, so that max memory partition I can give it is 9999k.

How does one give an app 10 megs or greater under MF?  I know that this is a
lot, but it's useful for image processing apps like this, and if with System 7
the IIci and IIfx will be able to address mega RAM (much more than 16 megs), it
would be useful to be able to give apps >10 megs if you want. 

Any info much appreciated!

Robert
