	I set it to 4, just experimenting around, and didn't have any problems.
However, when I stried to start up under MultiFinder, I got the message
"There isn't enough memory to work with the disk "Paris"". (Paris is my
hard disk). Increasing the partition didn't help.

	If I had to guess, I'd say that the Finder allocates some number
of data structures based on that number, but I'm at a loss to explain
what that number means...
