Just a general question - It appears that if you work in Win 3.0 for
a long time, doing multiple document open/close, either in Excel 2.1d
or Word 4 Windows, that eventually, memory gets so fragmented, that
Win 3.0 appears to 'run out' of memory.  At this point,  I have found
that the only way to re-coupe this memory, is to exit Win 3.0 to the
C:> prompt, then re-enter Windows.  While this isn't a major problem,
it is annoying, since I really don't think I should have to monitor
memory useage myself.  After All, Win 3.0 should manage this, and
should allow for the re-allocation of memory, maybe even do periodic
memory re-calibration.. 

Anyone else experience this problem?

It happens accross PCs, regardless of memory/hardware configuration

Ideas and suggestions would be welcomed.

Thanx in advance.
