When I run "mon -m", the bottom line on the screen shows the current
amount of free memory.  In our system, with 48MB of physical memory,
this number never seems to go much below 5MB.  I'd like to make it
much closer to zero, so that user processes can use more of the
available memory.  Is there a way to do this?
