Yes, you're right. Sorry if I implied otherwise. I keep the memory
allocation at the suggested 20 mb, but decreasing the memory allocation in
this case _should_ work. However, I tried that when I first started with
Rev, and got it to work a little better, but it still wasn't enough (still
crashing, but less often), so I put it back to 20 and cranked up the Virtual
RAM and restarted. That has worked pretty well, albeit a bit slow sometimes.
Still takes forever to close when I finish a session, and afterwards, I have
to run other programs for awhile or restart to get everything back to
normal.

I'm convinced you should have a minimum of 128 mb RAM to use Rev 'normally'.
I _know_ opening the docs/dictionary sucks up a bunch really quick.
