I am working on a simple on-line manual system.  I plan to have the manual
entries reside in a set of files.  When it comes time to read a manual
entry, I was planning to see how long the entry is, AllocMem that much
space, read the page in, and then FreeMem the space again when finished.

My question: will this behavior (constantly AllocMemming and FreMemming
chunks of memory) be detrimental to system performance, or will the Amiga
coalesce the memory blocks when I do each FreeMem?  Thanks!  Oh, when this
thing is finished I may post it; would anybody want it?
