 I think the information you seek is _not_ in the linker's manual, but
 you may find it in the systems technical manual.
 In your defs-directory is a file, which defines a constant V_USER
 (I think it's defs/io.a, but...). This is the amount of space used by IOMan.
  all you have to do is:

	use ....../defs/io.a (?)
	.	
	.	
	.	
 	vsect
	ds.b	V_USER
inptr	ds.l	1
inbuf   ds.b	80
	.
	ends		.	
	.	
	.	
        move.l	inptr(a2),...


 Hope this helps.
