Yes, using the MemAlloc module. This module can be found inside the PC 
Emulator, or inside the !Lander application on disc APP2 (the second 
welcome disc that came with RISC OS)

Once this module has been loaded, the command
  *ScreenSize 160k
will set the screensize to 160k, if it is possible. Note that if it is 
not possible, MemAlloc will NOT return an error message! Instead it will 
execute an optional command you specify after the new screen size.
eg. *ScreenSize 160k Error I need at least 160k of screen memory

    Cheers, Julian.
