Thanks! I remember seeing it but did not understand at the time what use it
might be or how to use it. It now becomes clearer that it might be the more
appropriate indicator as you suggest. Thanks for bringing it back into my
memory.

If you have Win95 or Win 98 there is a little utility called SYSMON. It has
a fantastic range of graphs it can show you, including Allocated RAM,
Swapfile in Use, Disk Cache Size, Unused Physical RAM. Do a File Find for
SYSMON. If you can't find it, search your Windows disk. Very handy in
tweaking one's configuration (e.g. setting PS's memory).
If you can't find it I can mail it to you...
