I'm not sure about that.  It _should_ be the amount of RAM, but I never 
believe it.  Today I checked my MemTop, and it told me that I had 1.53 Meg 
of RAM, which I know is incorrect:  I have 4 real and 12 virtual...  
Besides, a short program like the one I mentioned should take too much to 
implement???
