Is this happening to anyone else?  Running under MultiFinder, I open one app,
and then open a second, which says it doesn't have enough memory to open, but
do I want to open anyway (i.e., the app can open, but maybe it doesn't have as
much memory as it wants).  I open it leaving 0k free RAM.  Then I close one of
the apps, freeing up several hundred k. 

My problem is that at this point, with lotsa memory free, the DA Handler
doesn't seem to know that there's any memory free, and hence I can't open any
DA's until I shut all open apps.  This has happened to me lots of times with
lots of programs.  Is this a bug in the DA Handler?
