Please refer to page 352 of Vol V concerning 'sysz' resources.
It says little, and I do not remember where they are documented more.

Basically, you put a 'sysz' resource ID 0 in your INIT file. The resource
is four bytes representing a long which is the amount of memory to
insure is available in the System Heap when the INIT runs.
