Memory Problems

[Ray Horsley]

Thank you xbury and Pierre,

I appreciate the suggestions, however, I've opened all 36 stacks I'm using
for testing, set the Destroy Stack on Close and the Destroy Window on Close
to true, and I also set the Always Buffer to false for all of them.  Sorry,
no change.  I still find Metacard increasing in memory from about 17 megs to
a little over 30 if I go to or refer to each of them.  Any other ideas?

Thanks,
