OK, then I suppose 2 meg of stacks in memory is probably a reasonable limit
for most machines these days.

What about movies and sounds? If you download a quicktime movie with sound
only and no images (one way we like to play sounds because you have control
over the position of the sound, at least do in Supercard), load it into a
player object then unload the URL. . .will the movie/sound track still be
available to play after you unload the URL? i.e is the sound/movie file held
in memory just like a stack that still exists in the mainstacks?
