Oh well....
I don't think so. The utility area and the system heap are two different areas. In fact, programs that are in utility pages usually need to stick some stuff in the system heap as well, so this LOAD * will only solve half the problem. It also might be wasteful of space, because the program on disk might be quite a bit longer than it is when it is resident in memory. imc
