Bob,

Thanks for the help.  I'm missing something.  Here's what I don't understand:
If the sum of all allocations should be less than 40K, how can a single chunk
be 65506 bytes.  Are you saying "should" as in "it's a good idea"?

My app can have about 50K of data that it needs to organize and work with.  Are
you saying I can't use the heap for that?

Thanks,
