You can further free some memory by going to the menu item for changing the screen format. You don't have to (or want to) make any changes, but clicking the OK gadget on the screen format screen will blast away some of the stuff being cached in memory only after it has been selected by the user during that session. So you can squeeze a little more of it out that way. If that doesn't provide you with enough, then run one of the defrag. programs suggested by the other posters. Good luck. J. Petersen (LadyHawke)
