I'm having a problem using the {$M x,x,x} directive.
How do I determine how much space I should reserve for the
stack? In the following code for example:

function A(B: byte): byte;
 var C: byte;
 begin
 end;

function D(E:byte): byte;
 var F: byte;
 begin
 end;

begin
 writeln(D(A))
end.

How much memory should be set up for the stack?
I had a hunch that SizeOf(A+B+C+D+E+F) should be reserved, but 
I'm not too sure now that I'm getting stack overflow errors when
implementing this theory. Any help would be appreciated.
Please use e-mail.

Thanks
