In the SAS/C docs, a new feature of 5.10 is the ability to have your program
allocate a new stack if it is invoked with a smaller stack than the minimum
set at compile time.  However, all I could find about this in the docs is a
mention in the Preface, saying you can "specify a minimum stack size by 
initializing the stack variable at compile time."  What does this mean?  What
is "the stack variable"?  Is it an environment variable?  What are the units--
bytes or kbytes?  Is this further documented elsewhere in the manual?

Please e-mail if possible.  Thanks.
