Hi Geoff,

I tried running Rev with my 48mb PB, plus with 64 mb Virtual Memory. I was
comparing a couple of scripts in two separate stacks, so I had at least two
Property windows open as well. When I opened the Dictionary and tried to
find something, it locked up. Changing the VM to 128 mb fixed it. But,
again, it's too slow for a development environment. I've more or less given
up until I get a newer, gutsier machine (I'm workin' on it). I have to
support these projects out of my own pocket at the moment, and there are
numerous other considerations as well.

Once again, to the other 'newbies' or prospective users: Running stacks
doesn't _usually_ require nearly as much memory as the development
environment.

Actually, there's a question I haven't seen: How many total stacks are there
in Rev?

Best regards,
Ken N.
