I've got a few questions which perhaps some folks out there know answers to.
They are:

	1. Using DOMAIN Pascal, if I allocate some storage with the new
	   function, then allocate some more with
	   RWS_$ALLOC_HEAP_POOL(RWS_$STD_POOL, <size>), do these calls
	   allocate the storage from the same area?

	2. Assuming I am running a process on a DN3000 with 20 megabytes free
	   on it's local disk, but the process I am running is allocating 40
	   megabytes of storage, where does the process do it's paging to?

	3. What's the size limit (if any) of the RWS_$GLOBAL_POOL?

Any help with these will be greatly appreciated.

	Thankx in advance,
	Bruce Thompson
