I have a couple of quick questions, mostly based on observing that
http://www.polyml.org/docs/HeapParms9.html
could do with being updated.
Looking at the poly man page, I feel it is a little brief on the
descriptions, these are the questions that came to mind when I was about
to explain it to someone else...

"man poly" tells me:

       -H size
              Set the initial heap size, in MB.

       --heap size
              Set the initial heap size, in MB.

is this then the same as -H? Given that the heap size is described as
being initial, does it increase as PolyML is running? I was under the
(probably wrong) impression that PolyML has a fixed heap size.

       --immutable size
              Set the size of the immutables buffer, in MB.

       --mutable size
              Set the size of the mutables buffer, in MB.

Are these limits? Can they be edited while PolyML is running?

       --timeslice timeslice
              Set the timeslice.

Can someone remind me what this is?

I was also curious if there a way to get PolyML to print/edit out it's
current memory parameters while it is running?

cheers,
lucas
