I have never struck this as a problem.  With two 256 colour backdrop pics
and more INIT's than most people have nightmares about.. there is no way I
can run Word in the 1st meg of memory!  (The System chomps about 1.3 megs
before I run anything.. I regularly run Word as the 3rd of 4th app
launched under MultiFinder).

If your having memory problems Shirley, send me some e-mail detailing
what's happening.
