It's going to depend on a lot of things, but as a general rule of thumb, if you take 4M and add the total size of your stack (not counting any external media such as pictures or movies that aren't displayed at any given time), you won't be too far off. The main factor is the total size of the stacks you have open at any given time. Revolution takes a lot of memory because it's a complex application. But most applications you will build with it will take much less than the development environment does. -- Jeanne A. E.
