We are having trouble running a few applications like Illustrator,
Pagemaker, and Freehand at the same time under Multifinder.  The
error we get is the Finder is out of memory.  I have tried to make
the Application Memory Size in the Get Info box of the Finder larger
but without any luck as far as getting 3 pretty large applications
going at the same time.

This problem is on a IIfx with 20MB ram (only 14MB shows up in About
the Finder (System 7?))  There are quite a few devices mounted.  An
internal hard disk, Apple external HD, GCC external HD, and a Mass Micro
Syquest.  Please help, it is depressing not to be able run Multifinder
with a few applications.      

Was increasing the Finder Application Memory Size heading in the right
direction?

Thanks for any help and advice.
