Apple suggests 1 Mb with HyperCard, and with good reason.  It turns out that
1 Mb isn't always enough!  In just a few days of browsing and playing around,
I have run out of memory several times.  Usually, it says something like
"There isn't enough memory to use the paint tools."  One time, it got so
thoroughly out of memory, it just put up a warning box and returned to
Finder when I clicked OK.  I'm upgrading to 2 Mb, in hopes that will be
enough (what with MultiFinder on its way).
