Anytime you use DrawText, you put the entire text on the stack. Anytime you
use a Region, the ToolBox might use double the region size, etc.

8K was designed for the thin Mac, with only 128K of memory available. You 
might
want to change the heap size. IM vol 2, page 74, and IM vol 4, page 78 have
more details for things you can do...
